GINGRICH ON CIA TORTURE REPORT

Newt Gingrich blasts the Senate CIA torture report as a partisan Democrat report

Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich, appearing on Sunday’s ABC This Week, got it exactly right when he said:

This is not a Senate report, it's a Democratic partisan report. They did not interview a single person, not one person, at the CIA. Every CIA leader says they are factually false, that it in fact did work. And I'll just tell you, the morning any president finds out that there's a dirty bomb in an American city and we have found the person who knows where that bomb is, we're going to do anything necessary to stop the death of thousands of Americans.

The context of 2001 was a different world. This is war. It is not civil litigation, it is not criminal justice, it's war. And we need to have a debate in this country of whether or not we're prepared to fight people like ISIS in a war.


To that I say Amen! Amen!!

Newt might be an irritating dickhead but he is a bright, well educated and insightful dickhead.
