The CIA Interrogations Investigation: Bookerista Perspectives

Kevin Jackson: "Cheney Gets Mean...Again!"

The conservative Republican blogger opines about former Vice President Dick Cheney's battle with Attorney General Eric Holder over the investigation of CIA torture allegations: "It’s Cheney versus Holder in what looks like a sequel to Cheney versus Obama, where Cheney put what my grandparents would describe as a “country butt whooping” on the Obama. Like in the Obama fight, Cheney came out of his corner and landed a Superman punch on Holder, stating the obvious:

“We had a track record now of eight years of defending the nation against any further mass casualty attacks from al Qaeda,” Cheney said. “The approach of the Obama administration should be to come to those people who were involved in that policy and say, ‘How did you do it? What were the keys to keeping this country safe over that period of time?’”

Booyah, Ba-by! Holder is down — eight, nine, ten. It’s a one-punch knockout!"

Mr. Jackson continues his commentary about the interrogations controversy: "Needless to say, Holder has indeed underestimated Cheney — just like his boss man Obama did. You would think that they know by now that Cheney has no heart condition when it comes to battling liberals. Cheney is to Guru, as Holder is to Grasshoppa. Here’s the wrap: As with all things ObamaNation, they have overestimated the public’s tolerance for idiots, believing they can sell the public on the idea of prosecuting patriots who are paid to protect America.'"

Kenneth Durden: "Will Obama Leave Holder Out To Twist In The Wind?"

Asks the libertarian-conservative blogger: "Even Senator Dianne Feinstein is coming out against Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to pursue investigations of CIA terrorist suspect interrogation tactics. Of course Feinstein's reasoning has little to to do with ensuring the CIA is free to do what's necessary to keep us safe. She'd just much rather grandstand on the issue and doesn't want Holder cutting in on her. Either way the decision is the same. Now that even other Dems are coming out against Holder's decision, how long will it be before President Obama dunks him? Obama has made sure to retain plausible denial with his 'I want to move forward' nonsense. Smart people will know that since this is one of Holder's first actions, there's no doubt he's following his boss's orders."
