“‘We tortured some folks,’ the president said in an Aug. 1 White House press conference. But, according to The Guardian, ‘he believed intelligence officials responsible for torturing detainees were working during a period of extraordinary stress and fear’. Have pity on the CIA? Aren’t We The People also entitled to know the true names of high-level CIA personnel who tortured at will, as well as the presidents and members of the Judiciary Committee who gave them the authority to? How about bringing an impeachment inquiry of commander in chief Barack Obama? He was — and is — deeply involved in hiding these crimes against our rule of law and our disintegrating Constitution.”
