Was Everyone In The CIA Involved In Torture?
If this fellow is to be believed, apparently so:
Mark M. Lowenthal, an intelligence veteran who left a senior post at the C.I.A. in 2005, said Mr. Obama’s decision to exclude Mr. Brennan from contention for the top job had sent a message that “if you worked in the C.I.A. during the war on terror, you are now tainted,” and had created anxiety in the ranks of the agency’s clandestine service.
Yes, Mr. Lowenthal, if you were involved in torture, if you defended torture, as Mr. Brennan did (his empty protestations to the contrary notwithstanding) you are tainted, for life. I do not presume Mr. Lowenthal's libel of the entire CIA is accurate, but I DO agree with him that torture enablers are tainted. And rightly so.
Speaking for me only
