I think Rand will challenge him on rendition policy. There are lots of evidence and accounts of people being kidnapped and interrogated which can and should be quoted to him for his comments.

I dont think the senate will care though.

“There’s been a coup, have you heard? It’s the CIA coup. The CIA runs everything, they run the military. They’re the ones who are over there lobbing missiles and bombs on countries. … And of course the CIA is every bit as secretive as the Federal Reserve. … And yet think of the harm they have done since they were established [after] World War II. They are a government unto themselves. They’re in businesses, in drug businesses, they take out dictators … We need to take out the CIA.”

Dr.Paul's own words & Brennan was the no#1 guy the last few years in bombing CIA missles from above.

Kind of upset that this board & the Liberty Movement is not fighting John Brennans CIA head nomination & Jacob Lew's Treasury.. Both have had documentated pasts that should exclude them from their responsibilites.

It doesn't matter what we think on this board. The real question is how does Israel feel about this appointment.

We can certainly push Congress to not confirm them & make as much noise as possible about who they really are.

Very Sad part is I've seen a lot more Progressive push back on these two this past week then Libertarian/Campaign for Liberty camp.

They know who they are.
