From the ABC report:

But it turns out neither Mitchell nor Jessen had any experience in conducting actual interrogations before the CIA hired them.

"They went to two individuals who had no interrogation experience," said Col. Kleinman. "They are not interrogators."

Seem an important piece of information to know that such a task was given to people with no experience. I would call that negligence. If you call the reporter biased with questionable reporting chops, then how do you qualify these two being in charge of such an operation without any experience?

It scares me that after spending so much time in training our force to meet our defense needs, we rely on outside contractors to get the job done. That includes contractors who provide showers that electrocute our soldiers, provide food and water that make our soldiers sick, provide interrogators with no experience, and many other mistakes of negligence that harm our forces.

I could agree that this is information that would normally be kept quiet, but since the operation had such a negative effect on the United States reputation around the World, and was such a failure, then the questions are legitimate.

As I have said before, President Obama is not happy about all of this getting investigated. And again in his press conference last night he called it a mistake, not a crime.

And who promised to prosecute whoever leaked Ms. Williams identity and not only never did, but chose to try to defame the character of both her and her husband (an Ambassador) as their course to deal with the matter.

"The LEFT has never understood the truism of what George Orwell meant when he said that:"

Who was in charge (President) when we took on the dangers of WW I, WW II, or the Korean war? Wilson, FDR, Truman - a pack of conservatives?

Americans see now with the passing of time and the facts coming out, the clear negative results of the Bush - conservative decisions while in power.

Obama has only been there for 3 months, By a definitive majority vote of the American people. Something Bush could not claim.

The American people have made mistakes before in their choice of leaders, but give Americans the right to see their decision through its natural course.

At the end of the Obama Presidency, as with Bush, the truth will come out and the facts will declare whether his choices were mistakes, or not.

The Orwell quote is a good one. But there's an deliberate tension in it.

It partly means, "we like to pretend these rough men don't exist, but they do - and we ignore their existence at our peril."

Orwell would not have approved of an argument that these rough men be exempt from the rule of law, that the exact roughness of what they do be necessarily shrouded in mystery - even to those they're meant to be protecting. He would have wanted the rough men to be accountable.

"And, most amazingly, Cole indicts the two men for not having any experience prior to their work for the CIA -- as though being "previously involved in the U.S. military program to train pilots how to survive behind enemy lines and resist brutal tactics" isn't relevant."

Hey Tom, are you too stupid to read???
