Minority Leader Boehner's Statement on CIA Investigation by Obama Administration

Boehner Statement on Obama Administration's Appointment of Special Prosecutor to Investigate CIA - “The men and women who protect this country should never have to worry that they will face criminal prosecution as a result of a political election."

AP: White House Projects Bigger Deficits, Bigger Debt – "The federal government faces exploding deficits and mounting debt over the next decade, White House officials predicted Tuesday in a fiscal assessment far bleaker than what the Obama administration had estimated just a few months ago."

Chicago Tribune: Chilling the CIA - "[A] long-running backward-looking political-score-settling probe could chill CIA interrogators and all of those on the front lines of keeping America safe now. Those agents can't do their jobs effectively if they're worried about being criminally charged, years later, for actions they were told at the time were legal, actions that were encouraged by superiors in a moment of national crisis."

Washington Times: Interrogators got valued info, could face charges - "The Obama administration Monday appointed a special prosecutor to pursue criminal charges against CIA employees who interrogated some of al Qaeda's hardest core members, while releasing documents showing individuals subjected to the tactics provided life-saving intelligence that disrupted numerous terror plots ranging from an anthrax attack on Westerners to a massive bombing of U.S. troops in Africa."

Comments: Where are the Democrat comments opposing the investigation of the CIA agents who have kept this Country safe from another attack since 9/11. Does the Democrat Leadership agree with Obama and Holder? Obama could stop this investigation but we are hearing crickets chirping once again from this White House. Former VP Cheney was right about the interrogations help keeping us safe but now the Obama Administration and their actions against CIA put Americans at risk. Why? Are they that anxious to appease the Far Left? Republicans understand full well of the threats we face from terrorist. Are their NO Democrats that understand or are they afraid to speak out for fear of reprisal?
