That's not much of a stretch for this administration.
Noam Chomsky: Obama's Attack on Civil Liberties Has Gone Way Beyond Imagination
April 26, 2013 |
Mike Stivers: Anyone following issues of civil liberties under Obama knows that his administration's policies have been disastrous. The signing of the 2012 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), which effectively legalizes indefinite detention of US citizens, the prosecution of more whistleblowers than any previous president
, the refusal to close Guantanamo, and the adoption of ruthless positions in trials such as Hedges vs. Obama and Holder vs. Humanitarian Law Project don't even encapsulate the full extent of the flagrant violations of civil, political and constitutional rights. One basic question that a lot of people seem to be asking is, why? What's the rationale?
At least four career officials at the State Department and the Central Intelligence Agency have retained lawyers or are in the process of doing so, as they prepare to provide sensitive information about the Benghazi attacks to Congress, Fox News has learned.
Victoria Toensing, a former Justice Department official and Republican counsel to the Senate Intelligence Committee, is now representing one of the State Department employees. She told Fox News her client and some of the others, who consider themselves whistle-blowers, have been threatened by unnamed Obama administration officials.
“I'm not talking generally, I'm talking specifically about Benghazi – that people have been threatened,” Toensing said in an interview Monday. “And not just the State Department. People have been threatened at the CIA.”
May as well cue the cricket choir on this one... the State Dept. has already investigated the State Dept. and the State Dept. says there's nothing to see here. Now move along.
It was always the women, and above all the young ones, who were the most bigoted adherents of the Party, the swallowers of slogans, the amateur spies and nosers−out of unorthodoxy
MIGHT have something to do with the article the WSJ ran on Nov.2,2012.......WSJ: STATE DEPT AND CIA HAD SECRET
BOTCHED DEAL FOR BENGHAZI SECURITY........"The CIA is said to have been the dominant US presence in Benghazi,where
it had a "symbiotic" relationship with the State Dept consulate that served as cover for its staff. "The State Department
believed it had a formal agreement with the CIA to provide backup security.",the Journal says, "although a congressional in-
vestigator said it now appears the CIA DIDN'T have the same understanding about security responsibilities."....(Oops...)
It is quite obvious that this whole situation has been rotten to the core from the beginning. The media ignored it during the election and Hillary bailed out as soon as possible. Although, I must congratulate her on the impeccable timing of her 'accident' - or was that an injury sustained in her 'secret mission' to Iran?
Never forget Hillary is the partner of the greatest sacmmer in the history of the US Presidency......his slimey fingers are in this. Only the second President to be IMPEACHED and disbarred for lying under oath.....They could regain power IF Hillary survives the murders in Bengazi.......we will NEVER let this slide. Chief Woods father and the brothers will never forget. Obama may be impeached......we will see.

More Americans would have cared if the Americans killed were actors or sports stars. It's hard enough to find Americans who know where/what Benghazi is.
