Antiwar.com Blog? LOL...really shocking that THEY came to that conclusion, Bluesman! (eye-roll)
Why are you trying to portray yourself as a mental midget?
Do you not understand what quote marks mean? John Brennan was being quoted. If you want to claim the quotes are not accurate, it would only take a quick google search to find out.
The link clearly identifies the source of the quotes as PBS. The post you are questioning even listed a quote from the link that specifically said "...Brennan told PBS...".
Interviews - John Brennan | The Dark Side | FRONTLINE | PBS
...From 1999 to 2004 Brennan worked closely with George Tenet, first as his chief of staff, then as deputy executive director of the CIA. He also directed the National Counterterrorism Center from 2004 to 2005. Brennan discusses here how it became obvious the Pentagon wanted to have more of a role in intelligence; the pressures the CIA felt in the run-up to the Iraq war; how Tenet reacted to the news that the intelligencee assessment on WMD programs was wrong, and his thoughts on the CIA's future. This is an edited transcript of an interview conducted on March 8, 2006...
I.. think there was a feeling within the agency that intelligence was increasingly becoming the meat in the sandwich on this one; that we were being asked to do things and to make sure that that justification was out there. Responding to the requests from the Hill for that National Intelligence Estimate in a very short period of time and compressed schedule to do something as major and as significant as that, there was concern that intelligence was being pushed forward as the justification for war. ...
Do you think you know better than "deputy executive director of the CIA" about what was fucking going on? This guy is talking in complete sentences. He cannot be discredited with idiotic right wing talking points.
Your reading comprehension skills are a bit lacking, Blues. When someone states that "This is an edited transcript of an interview conducted on March 8, 2006..." what they are telling you is that they have NOT given you someone's complete statement...they have given you an EDITED version of that statement. An editor can take the parts of someone's interview that they think makes the point they are driving at and edit out those that don't. It's called cherry picking and it happens all the time in this time of media trying to make the news rather than simply report it.
The other thing that you haven't accounted for is the natural tendency of people to want to paint themselves in as favorable a light as possible. How many times have you seen politicians attempt to spin the narrative about something they were involved in that went wrong so that their reputations can be "refurbished". My guess is that John Brennen is engaged in doing just that. He was for enhanced interrogations when working for George W. Bush before he was against them when working for Barack Obama.
