Why John Brennan Matters

By Big Tent Democrat

ADVERTISEMENTS

Believe it or not, beyond the blog pi**ing contests, John Brennan's potential role in an Obama Administration matters a lot. Digby explains why:

On torture, there can be no more blurring of definitions. . . . The CIA needs to know up front that Obama will not have their back if they engage in torture --- and that the torture legal framework under Bush is no longer operative in any way. There really is no other choice on this and I expect that he will do it. He knows very well that his foreign policy will be in complete shambles the minute it is leaked --- and it will be --- that the Obama administration has sanctioned torture, either through commission or omission. His great opportunity across the world to prove that America has changed will be lost.

If this is concern trolling, then we should all be concern trolls.
