Is the CIA torture tape story retribution from Bush for the NIE?

Apparently Senior CIA officials were willing to go to jail in order to get the conclusions of the NIE out to the public.
Bush had no choice but to release it, otherwise it would have been leaked.

Now, in childish revenge, Commander Pissypants has set loose this CIA Torture Tape Scandal to punish those who wronged him and throw the attention off him and his lies regarding the NIE and Iran.

Sounds about par for the course considering the Plame debacle.

I just hope the CIA sticks to its guns.

4. And, it knocked the NIE story off the front pages.

A win/win/win for chimpy....

except....people know what was on those tapes. And there are most definitely more. A lot more. Videos, audio and pictures.

IF chimpy is seeking revenge. Keep it going. The CIA should release other tapes to prove that the evidence is still there. As pushing turns to shoving, chimpy will always lose.

5. Cheney versus the CIA

I do not believe asshole was told about much of anything. cHeney is runnibg the show. I do agree that the cHeney/neocon faction is battling with the entrenched Intel faction.
Arrest cHeney. He is protected by the military though .through his ties to the MIC.
The Intel agencies winning will be cHeney retiring with a pardon.cHeney winning will be another war.

6. They released the info about it

That was my thought, but apparently it was the CIA that released the info re: the tape.
