A day after The New York Times released its explosive report that at least
two videotapes showing CIA agents using severe interrogation tactics (that
most nefarious of euphemisms) on terror suspects, congressional Democrats
are registering their extreme displeasure and calling for an official
investigation into what Sen. Edward Kennedy slammed as a "cover-up."

The Democrats letting Reagan get away with Iran/Contra sent the message to
Republicans that they could commit crimes in the name of national
"security."
During the years of the Bush-Cheney administration, some CIA high-level
leaders as well as rank-and-file personnel have behaved honorably, while
others reportedly have acted dishonorably.
Like the nature of the intelligence community, these situations have
sometimes been cloudy and unclear. Sometimes, solid indicators and truths
have emerged.
Food for thought in the articles ...
