NOW 7 FORMER CIA DIRECTORS URGE OBAMA CEASE CIA PROSECUTION!

NYT/AP:
Seven former CIA directors asked President Barack Obama on Friday to quash a criminal probe of harsh interrogations of terror suspects during the Bush administration.

''If criminal investigations closed by career prosecutors during one administration can so easily be reopened at the direction of political appointees in the next, declinations of prosecution will be rendered meaningless,'' wrote the former directors.

... The seven former CIA directors included Michael Hayden, Porter Goss and George Tenet, who served under Bush; John Deutch and James Woolsey, who worked for President Bill Clinton; William Webster, who served under President George H.W. Bush; and James Schlesinger, who ran the agency under President Richard Nixon. Tenet also served under Clinton.

They urged Obama to reverse Holder's Aug. 24 decision to reopen the investigation of interrogations following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

IF OBAMA PERSISTS, THEN ONE MUST ASK: IF HE REALLY WAS A CRYPTO-MUSLIM WHO WANTED TO DESTROY THE USA, WOULD HE BE DOING ANYTHING DIFFERENTLY?

NOPE.
