    Soon they will be investigated for their spy on your neighbor health care site and the secret spy cookies this administration wants to download on our computers after we visit govt. websites so they can spy on us and you worried about Bush? This guy is using marxist KGB tactics right out of Staliin and Leniin's playbooks for govt. conyrol. Get congress back to the GOP and anybody but Obama in 2012.

    I CANT BELIEVE THAT THIS ADMINISTRATION WANTS TO INVESTIGATE SOMETHING THAT WOULD SAVE AMERICAN LIVES,DID WE FORGET 9/11 ALREADY,THE USS COLE ,OUR FACILITIES AROUND THE WORLD,OVER 5000 US TROOPS AND THEIR FAMILIES. I THINK THE DEMOCRATS ARE SO AFRAID OF BUSH AND CHENEY,THAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR ANY REASON TO GET EVEN FOR THE 8 YRS THAT THEY WERE IN OFFICE.TOO BAD THEY DO NOT HAVE A STEM CELL THAT WOULD GIVE THE DEMOCRATS A SPINE.

    This is at the top of diversions....what is wrong with not giving the congress every detail or some sacred info? they have big mouths and some are senile, like Nancy. What is wrong with Killing Our Enemies, I always thought that was what we were supposed to do! What a stupid, stupid diversion..keep our pea brains off the socialist health care debacle

      What is wrong with the CIA not briefing Congress about a covert program? Well, it's pretty basic. FISA states that the CIA must brief Congress, at a bare minimum the 'gang of eight' must be briefed. By not briefing Congress, the CIA is breaking the law. And as to the issue of killing our enemies, please do some research into the Geneva Conventions. It is in our best interest to treat POWs according to the rules of war - not because of some delusional idea that they will return the favor as many mistakenly believe, but because an enemy who is confident that they will be treated in a humane manner will be willing to surrender. An enemy who believes they will be tortured will fight to the death, ultimately killing many more of our own soldiers in their futile last stands.

        There will be no investigation by the of the CIA just a few ruffled feathers and a some accusations and then it will all be over as any thorough investigation would have Pelosi covered in mud as she lied to the American People on what she did and didn't know.If you want an investigation let us start with her.As far as I am concerned I do not care if some detainees potential terrorist got a little water up their nose if it gets us the answers we need and saves American lives so be it.We need to do all possible to avoid another 911 and Bush did this if nothing else he did do this unfortunately Obama has put at great risk.If you understood Muslim terrorist you would know there is no honor in surrender only death so that comment about their willingness to surrender could not be further from the truth.

      There's nothing wrong with killing them. Torture is a different ballgame.

      Marc Rich was pardoned. There's nothing Holder could do to him, even if he wanted to.
