#1 These lawfare leftists have never caught on to the idea of "plausible deniability".

The CIA would never put any foreign leader on the spot by telling them that some airstrip or other facility was going to be used for rendition, or any other purpose for that matter. They would just ask to use it.

Thus, all they could testify to would be did they give authorization, to which they could respond "Yes" or "No". They could very truthfully say that they had no idea what any of it was used for.

#2 These leftist witch hunts are really starting to get annoying. They are ignoring their own house catching fire to point out their neighborer's bad lawn.

Tend to your own muzzie infestation and we'll worry about external threats later, chums.

#3 they still could not be certain

where they were likely to be subjected to inhumane treatment.

rendition had been alleged

the alleged use of Diego Garcia

he had credible evidence from sources he could not reveal

British officials say they have no evidence of this.

suggested records of the CIA flights may have been destroyed.

Sorry, boys and girls. Not exactly a slam dunk.
Try harder.
