>> DO YOU BELIEVE THE PREVIOUS
INTERROGATION TECHNIQUES WERE
IMMORAL.
SENATOR I BELIEVE THAT CIA
OFFICERS TO WHOM YOU REFERRED
I BELIEVE THAT CIA GIVEN AT
THE LEGAL TOOLS THAT WE WERE
AUTHORIZED.
DO YOU BELIEVE IN HINDSIGHT
THAT THOSE TECHNIQUES WERE
IMMORAL?
>> WHAT I BELIEVE SITTING HERE
TODAY IS THAT I SUPPORT THE
HEIL -- HIGHER MORAL STANDARDS
WE SET FORWARD.
CALIFORNIA SENATOR DEMOCRAT ON
WHETHER ENHANCED
INTERROGATIONS ARE IMMORAL.
REPUBLICANS CALLING OUT
DEMOCRATS FOR HYPOCRISY SAY
YOU SIGNED OFF ON IT AS LAW
POST 911.
THEY DID NOT COME OUT AGAINST
WATERBOARDING UNTIL THE PUBLIC
WAS INFORMED.
WHAT WAS YOUR REACTION TO THIS
DEBATE.
THIS IS WHAT I CALL RETRO
ACTIVE MORALITY.
FROM PEOPLE WHO ARE SITTING IN
THE CHEAP SEATS WHILE THOSE OF
YOU OUT THERE WE ARE ON THE
FRONT LINE IN THIS WAR ON
TERROR.
IN THIS SPECIFIC INSTANCE WE
HAVE THE COMMANDER IN CHIEF
THAT BOUGHT OFF ON IT.
YOU OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL.
HIS OFFICE OF LEGAL COUNSEL.
THE DIRECTOR OF THE CIA WHO IS
A FORMER DEMOCRATIC STAFF
DIRECTOR.
AND THEN IMPORTANTLY YOU HAVE
JOHN BRENNAN WHO IS THE NUMBER
FOR OFFICIAL AT THE TIME.
AND HE WAS LATER CONFIRMED ALL
MAKING THOSE DECISIONS WHILE
SHE WAS OUT EXECUTING THEM.
I THINK THE RETRO ACTIVE
MORALITY IS HARD TO TAKE.
>> THE CIA CHIEF WE HAD 13
REPUBLICANS INCLUDING MCCAIN.
THEY ALL APPROVED AND BOARD
VOTED FOR JOHN BRENNAN TO RUN
THE CIA.
YOU HAVE THE OBAMA DOJ
THE CIA.
YOU HAVE THE OBAMA DOJ REPORT
A SPECIAL PROSECUTOR.
I CAN TELL YOU THERE IS
NOTHING WORSE THAN HAVING AND
BEING OUT ON THE LINE DOING
WITH THE NATION NEEDS
AUTHORIZED BY WASHINGTON ONLY
TO HAVE A WASHINGTON LEADER
MOVE THE GOALPOST AND THEY GO
AFTER YOU WITH THE SPECIAL
PROSECUTOR.
THEY CLEARED THEM OF ALL
WRONGDOING AS DID THAT CIA
INVESTIGATION UNDER THE DEPUTY
CIA DIRECTOR.
THEY'VE BEEN CLEARED MULTIPLE
TIMES FOR SOMETHING THAT
WASHINGTON FIRST APPROVED AND
AT THE END OF THE DAY LET'S
SET POLICY TICKS ASIDE.
WE NEED TO MOVE FORWARD AND
SHE HAS MADE IT CLEAR SHE WILL
ABIDE BY THE LAW.
LET'S MOVE FORWARD AND KEEP
THIS COUNTRY AHEAD.
WE HAVE TALKED TO A
INTELLIGENCE OFFICIALS.
AND I GET VERY FRUSTRATED
BECAUSE THEY DO NOT SEE THE
WORK THEY ARE DOING.
THE JACK REED AT ONE POINT.
VERY SIMPLE.
HE IS BEING WATER BOARDED.
I'VE ASK YOU RECENTLY WOULD
YOU DETERMINE THAT TO BE
IMMORAL AND SOMETHING THAT
SHOULD NEVER BE DONE CONDONED
IN ANY WAY SHAPE OR FORM.
YOUR RESPONSE SEEMS TO BE THAT
THEY DON'T DO IT.
A CIVILIZED NATION WAS DOING
IT.
I WOULD NEVER, OBVIOUSLY
SUPPORT INHUMANE TREATMENT OF
ANY CIA OFFICERS.
THEY PERSONALLY KILLED A
CORRESPONDENT AND FILMED
THAT.
I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANY
COMPARISON BETWEEN CAA
OFFICERS SERVING THEIR COUNTRY
SPIRIT AND TERRORIST BY THEIR
VERY DEFINITION ARE NOT
FOLLOWING ANYBODY'S LAW.
NEW REACTION.
I'M REACTING AS SOMEONE WHO
HAS TARGETED CAPTURE.
BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY WANTED
TO BE IN AN ORANGE JUMPSUIT TO
BE ABLE TO TORTURE ME ON
INTERNATIONAL TELEVISION.
I SHARE HER OUTRAGE.
YOU PERSONALLY WERE TARGETED I
TAKE IT A LITTLE BIT AS A
BADGE OF HONOR.
I WAS DOING MY JOB.
BUT I SHARE HER OUTRAGE.
I THINK IT'S OUTRAGEOUS TO
MAKE THAT COMPARISON AGAIN WE
HAVE OUR LIVES OUT ON THE LINE
MAKE THAT COMPARISON AGAIN WE HAVE OUR LIVES OUT ON THE LINE.
AND WHAT IS QUOTE UNQUOTE
MORAL IS DECIDED BY OUR
GOVERNMENT AND NOW FOR THE
GOVERNMENT TO CHANGE ITS MIND
THAT'S FINE.
WE CODIFIED WITH THAT IS IN
LAW.
BUT DON'T GO AFTER PEOPLE WHO
WERE SIMPLY FOLLOWING THE
RULES AS THEY EXISTED AT THE
TIME.
DO YOU THINK FOR ONE DAY
PEOPLE IN CONGRESS SHOULD DO
WALK THE WALK THAT PEOPLE IN
THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
DO.
