Former CIA Director: Obama Threw Us under the Bus

Is there anyone Obama would not throw under any bus, anywhere and at any time? The Tunnel Dweller

"(This is the second of two interviews with Michael Hayden.)"

Elise Cooper  . . . "Support was not forthcoming for those in the intelligence community.  The book discusses how the Obama administration, which includes but is not limited to people such as John Brennan, attempted to change the legal and political landscape.  The current CIA director, Brennan, appeared to have a revisionist memory when he recently said on 60 Minutes that he had misgivings and concerns about the Enhanced Interrogation Program.  When asked, Haydenreferred to the Showtime documentary Spymasters.  In it, George Tenet, Brennan's boss, said that Brennan had never raised concerns, never expressed discomfort, and never said it should be stopped.

" 'But more importantly, what Hayden wants to focus upon is that America should be "capturing terrorists and detaining them for interrogation.  How we get to that point is to elect another president.  This president grabs someone only if he can put them in an article III court, instead of treating them as enemy combatants.' " . . .
