Criminal Investigation Into CIA Treatment Of Detainees Expected

These will be witch hunts, not prosecutions. Kangaroo courts, not a search for truth.

U.S. Atty. Gen. Eric H. Holder Jr. is poised to appoint a criminal prosecutor to investigate alleged CIA abuses committed during the interrogation of terrorism suspects, current and former U.S. government officials said.

Current and former CIA and Justice Department officials who have firsthand knowledge of the interrogation files contend that criminal convictions will be difficult to obtain because the quality of evidence is poor and the legal underpinnings have never been tested.

Some cases have not previously been disclosed, including an instance in which a CIA operative brought a gun into an interrogation booth to force a detainee to talk, officials said.

He didn't USE the gun. He just waived it around to get evidence to save American lives. In accord with Democrat principles, this is considered obscene. How DARE he try to save American lives.

I can understand, with the vitriolic hatred of America displayed by both Barack Obama and Eric Holder, they cannot allow such pro-American actions to continue to take place. Gulled by Hollywood into thinking that American CIA agents are all evil assassins like "Jason Bourne" (evil until they reject defense of America and become our enemies of course), both Obama and Holder have only one concern about these prosecutions. How do they prosecute so they destroy some CIA agents lives without triggering a political backlash from American patriots?

Please note. These Democrats are NOT concerned with potential damage to America. Their only heistancy is a concern with political repercussions for themselves.
