From the Washington Post, Sunday, written by Walter Pincus and Joby Warrick
1. Morale at Langley is shot, due to Obama/Holder's double-dealing politicization of CIA methods, according to many senior CIA insiders
2. Meanwhile, the inspector general, Helgerson, who previously reviewed all this stuff about power drills, faked executions and empty threats (LOL!), and found nothing indictable says now that going forward is LIKELY TO GO NOWHERE
3. The previous Justice Dept ok'd in letter the procedures employed by those now facing prosecution, Helgerson explains
4. CIA higher ups specifically approved the tactics used by the lower level lackeys about to be put thru the wringer, supposedly, by Holder/Obama
5. I say "supposedly" because this particular prosecution is such a political loser, it won't move an inch
6. Still, the little guys being leveraged will have to lawyer up against Holder's hassling
7. Most importantly, to get even an indictment, Helgerson says, the no-name prosecutor picked by the president must prove INTENT, a practical impossibility
8. Veteran voices within the CIA assert that agents will not take risks, ongoing, thus weakening US security
9. They fear that methods considered kosher today will be reversed by LATER administration's for POLITICAL purposes
10. Many high level agents, some in management, have been making phone calls "seeking advice about new employment," reports The Washington Post
11. While The Post recognizes that a comprehensive sampling of the thousands of agency employees is impossible, among the dozens involved in the programs in question, "feelings run high" concerning the poor treatment meted to lifetime servicemembers by this cheaply expedient president
12. The White House was warned back in December that its political playing of CIA careerists was gonna backfire badly
13. But obtuse Obama obliviously believed the brouhaha would be a two day story
14. LOLOL!
15. Other top level informants told The Post they resent the administration's "double standard"
16. That is, juicy details that might prove obstacles to Obama's present efforts in Iraq and Afghanistan have been withheld, they say, while those intended to embarrass the previous president have been gossiped to the world
17. Helgerson points to the case of the agent who pointed a gun at a detainee and threatened him with a power drill
18. The agent in question was subject to immediate disciplinary action
19. The documents RELEASED BY HOLDER indicate that valuable information was extracted thru interrogation
20. They refuse to conclude, however, either one way or the other, that attacks were or weren't staved off, nor whether the info gleaned was or wasn't the result of EIT's
