Biden Calls For Special Counsel In CIA Case

It would seem that my appreciation of the CIA Directors candor with Congressional Oversight Committees, is not receiving the same appreciation by others in Washington.

Senate Democratic leader, Joe Biden said Sunday the attorney general should appoint a special counsel to investigate the CIA's destruction of videotaped interrogations of two suspected terrorists.

Mukasey's Justice Department and the CIA's internal watchdog announced Saturday they would conduct a joint inquiry into the matter. That review will determine whether a full investigation is warranted. "He's the same guy who couldn't decide whether or not waterboarding was torture and he's going to be doing this investigation," said Biden, who noted that he voted against making Mukasey the country's top law enforcer.

I have seen over the last few days the skepticism with the CIA has been growing, mostly from the Democrats, who smell "blood in the water", and a few Republicans, who believe that the Director may have been less than "fully" honest as to why the tapes were destroyed. Truly, this will turn into a circus, with the Presidential race getting into high gear, and Democrats seeing another opportunity to make gains from a possible "misstep" by an already proven "lying" administration. It will take calmer heads to get to the "truth" that we deserve. I guess my first assessment was wrong, but I do hope that the "truth" that we were told, was the "truth"!
