Yachtie -> It's ONLY symbolism... (3/9/2013 10:56:05 AM)
Hours after CIA Director John Brennan took the oath of office—behind closed doors, far away from the press, perhaps befitting his status as America's top spy—the White House took pains to emphasize the symbolism of the ceremony. “There's one piece of this that I wanted to note for you,” spokesman Josh Earnest told reporters at their daily briefing. “Director Brennan was sworn in with his hand on an original draft of the Constitution that had George Washington's personal handwriting and annotations on it, dating from 1787.” The Constitution itself went into effect in 1789. But troublemaking blogger Marcy Wheeler points out that what was missing from the Constitution in 1787 is also quite symbolic: The Bill of Rights, which did not officially go into effect until December 1791 after ratification by states.

The CIA, if it is operating within its charter, is never concerned with the Bill of Rights.

The CIA, if operating within its charter, cannot conduct operations within the United States.

Since when has the CIA operated within its charter?

That's rich[8D] Well those so-called self-evident, inaliable rights, endowed by our creator (NOT by govt.) as far as the CIA is concerned...stop at the coast. Once one is off US soil...fuck'em they can just go ahead and die and the CIA will 'die' them. Trouble is, even if the CIA chooses, they'll fuck you right here too.
