King on Holder: 'You wonder which side they’re on'

A "furious" Rep. Peter King, the hawkish, maverick Long Island Republican, blasted a "disgraceful" Eric Holder for opening an investigation of CIA interrogators and chided his own party for what he described as a weak response to the move in an interview just now with POLITICO.

"It’s bulls***. It’s disgraceful. You wonder which side they’re on," he said of the Attorney General's move, which he described as a "declaration of war against the CIA, and against common sense."

"It’s a total breach of faith, and either the president is intentionally caving to the left wing of his party or he’s lost control of his administration," said King, the ranking Republican on the House Committee on Homeland Security and a member of the House Select Committee on Intelligence.

King, channeling both the sense of outrage and of political opportunity felt in parts of the GOP, defended in detail the interrogation practices -- threats to kill a detainee's family, and or to kill a detainee with a power drill -- detailed in a CIA inspector general report released yesterday.

God, this man is a total tool. Long Island needs a better rep. Then again, I have family out there and they are all Rethugs.

3. "You wonder which side they're on...."

Yes, indeed, I do. But if they're on the side that doesn't kidnap, torture, murder, and then dump the bodies, I'll be happy to call that side the American side.

Unless they white-wash it, like I think they will try to do. Then they're on your side, you evil little man, Peter King.

Michele Bachman would definitely be at the extreme end and everyone else would have to be measured from there.
