A Travesty Resulting From Our Traitors on the Left.

Worried CIA Officers Buy Legal Insurance
Plans Fund Defense In Anti-Terror Cases

CIA counterterrorism officers have signed up in growing numbers for a government-reimbursed, private insurance plan that would pay their civil judgments and legal expenses if they are sued or charged with criminal wrongdoing, according to current and former intelligence officials and others with knowledge of the program.

The new enrollments reflect heightened anxiety at the CIA that officers may be vulnerable to accusations they were involved in abuse, torture, human rights violations and other misconduct, including wrongdoing related to the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. They worry that they will not have Justice Department representation in court or congressional inquiries, the officials said.

The anxieties stem partly from public controversy about a system of secret CIA prisons in which detainees were subjected to harsh interrogation methods, including temperature extremes and simulated drowning. The White House contends the methods were legal, but some CIA officers have worried privately that they may have violated international law or domestic criminal statutes.

Details of the rough interrogations could come to light if trials are held for any of the approximately 100 detainees who were held in the prisons. President Bush announced last week that he had transferred the last 14 detainees in the facilities to the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and had submitted a proposal to Congress for the rules under which the administration would like the suspects to be tried.

This should never be, but because of the hostility of those on the Left with their political agenda of seizing power, these fine Americans are forced to be concerned. It is hard to believe that there are Americans who hate their country so much that they attack our own people in their efforts to protect America from an insidious, violent, demented, enemy bent on the total destruction of all we stand for.

You Democrats out there grow up! This is a war, not a police matter. The people we are fighting are at war with us. They do not want to negotiate. They are not interested in peace. They do not care if we are nice to them. They want us dead. They want us converted to Islam. They will not stop unless we stop them through force. You cannot make peace with them. If you ignore them you will die. Your every word of quitting and surrender gives them added zeal. Your defeatism sustains them. Your willingness to sacrifice our nations security so that you can regain control of Congress and the Presidency reveals you as traitors.
