Tortured Logic – Complicity And Cheney's "Second Wave" Memos.

I assure you I’m not writing these just to bash Republicans. This YouTube Vid is relevant to my previous post regarding the “Second Wave” plot, supposedly foiled by torturing Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. I don’t believe that there was an imminent attack, but if there was something legit that Cheney’s classified documents would show was disrupted, then let’s see them. So how does the Obama administration respond????

OK.

First – Hillary.

You should know by now you don’t do obfuscation very well…. Does the phrase “I don’t recall” ring a bell ????

Second – Cheney. Come on!!! I can’t believe you don’t have a lackey somewhere in the CIA willing to leak a document or two favorable to the cause. It’s not like leaking documents is something so unfathomable or so beyond the realm of possibility for either the Cheneyites or the CIA. So, come on. Get that mole machine working.

Third – This is going to be a land-mine for certain Democrats on the hill. It’s already been revealed that Queen Nanci Pelosi knew about the use of these torture techniques since 2002, as did fellow Dem Jane Harmon. I’ve been saying for a few years now that the Dems, or at least key ones, knew about these policies from their inception. Why do you think Pelosi et. al. have been SO DAMNED RELUCTANT to make any move forward on getting to the bottom of torture policies that she claims to believe are so abhorrent. They were in on it – DUH!!! Many Dems are going to have some ‘splainin’ to do before this is through.

But getting back to my point. There are two likely endings to this particular episode. Either some memo will come out, one way or another, showing some plot was being talked about, money changed hands, but it was no where near a point where the terrorists even had a concrete plan or the resources tocarry it out. Keep in mind that the Bush / Cheney torture faction has proclaimed torture vital in order to prevent an “imminent” 24’ish attack. The little bit of info we do have on the so called “Second Wave” LA plot comes nowhere near that metric, and would be seriously moving the goalposts by the torturistas (fun word, I’m running with it). It will be almost as big a dud as the Super-Dooper Santorum WMD Memo of 2006.

What will more likely happen is that the Obama administration will say there is no document of the kind because… well… there really isn’t. It does not exist. This is a winning strategy, because it’s very hard to prove a negative. Regardless, the torturistas will be up in arms claiming Obama is hiding the truth, and we’ll have to listen to Rush / Hannity / Levin scream in protest about it for years after. And long term, it works too. It plants a shadow of doubt on the Obama administration and will give those prosecuted the chance to claim they were railroaded. It’s sort of the G Gordon Liddy / Ollie North approach. OK, some might end up going to jail for a while but in the end, they’ll get out and start their own radio shows…. Yay. Can’t wait for that.
