We know Shrub's CIA waterboarded. Remember that Fearless Leader and The Dick always claimed we had to waterboard these evil alkaheeda terra suspects or we wouldn't learn their deepest, darkest secrets. Worse, by not waterboarding them we'd put America in danger from follow-on terrorist attacks.

Now we've got Obama's CIA. They're not allowed to waterboard, and they're putting out as much product as they did in the waterboarding era.

Essentially, this is a HUGE Bush slam. We're going to see that quite a bit from the CIA because of what Bush did to them. In the pre-Bush days, when the leadership listened to the intel community, the intelligence system of this country was kind of a triangle. At the top of it was the CIA, and all the other agencies were below it. In pre-Bush days, the Director of Central Intelligence was the top spymaster in the United States. The CIA didn't tell Bush what he wanted to hear one time too often, so Bush played with the org chart: he put the CIA down on the base of the triangle and created a new agency, the Directorate of National Intelligence--which does EXACTLY what the Directorate of Intelligence at the CIA used to!
