CIA torture investigation?

Recently Leon Panetta, current director the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), reported that he had been informed that after 9/11 then Vice-President Dick Cheney had instructed CIA personnel not to inform Congress of any activities they were undertaking, especially in the areas of torture and eavesdropping.

Amazingly, Mister Cheney, who has been so visible & talkative lately, is not available for comment.

Following that theme, of possible wrong doing by the CIA while receiving orders from the Bush Administration (Dick Cheney), Attorney General Eric Holder is considering naming a special prosecutor to see look into the allegations and take necessary actions, if it is proven the CIA overstepped their bounds.

Interestingly enough, the Obama Administration would prefer that Holder let sleeping dogs lie, which raises some interesting questions. Such as, was Congress as ignorant about CIA actions as they have pretended? Did then Senator Obama, along with the majority of his colleagues give silent approval, but following that old tradition of asking no questions and hearing no lies?

I think if an investigation is allowed, we will find there is a lot more lies and dirt than anyone suspected. All parties are going to be found complicit in what occurred, either actively or silently. However, guilty is guilty and many heads could role.

It will be interesting to see if Holder proceeds or backs down.

Will the truth win out, or will it be business as usual?

Keep watch.
