Biden wants special counsel in tape case
2007-12-10
A Senate Democratic leader said Sunday the attorney general should appoint a special counsel to investigate the CIA's destruction of videotaped interrogations of two suspected terrorists.
The party in opposition always wants a special counsel.
Sen. Joe Biden, a Democratic presidential candidate and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, cited Michael Mukasey's refusal during confirmation hearings in October to describe waterboarding as torture. 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 just think it's clearer and crisper and everyone will know what the truth ... if he appoints a special counsel, steps back from it," said Biden, D-Del.

Biden will find that his colleagues [demoC'raps] were notified but they have very poor memories because they only "DO" Perks, Pork, Privileges, Politics and Raises never Intel or National Security.

#2  Joe, "wafflecrats"! LOL!

On more serious note, in agreement that intel agencies are likely compromised by post-commies. That's been the Comintern/KPSU Politburo/KGB/Neo-Gramscian plan, and it seems that it bears fruits. Possible exception may be NSA, but I don't know enough to be certain.
