Hey Harlem see the spy Obama

Hey harlem and bronx dudes and duddettes, the spy that you loved is Obama.  Doing all sorts of crazy shit.

Burt Wides, a veteran Congressional staffer, who headed the Church Committee's investigation of the CIA back in 1975-76, stated in an interview with RealNewsNetwork, that there are two factors that require a new Church Committee-type independent investigation of the intelligence agencies: (1) that the Congressional oversight committees "are so entangled in this imbroglio with the CIA and the Justice Department," and (2) Obama's failure to investigate the abuses that took place during the Bush administration during "Cheney's war on terror." Wides helped to originally create the House and Senate Intelligence Committees, and was involved in investigating Cheney's war on terror for Rep. John Conyers and the House Judiciary Committee. Wides has served as counsel or chief of staff to three U.S. Senators and two Congressional Committees.
Wides stated there's been some pressure for an independent investigation, but "it never came about because Obama didn't want it," and because the two intelligence committees didn't want to give up their jurisdiction to a third, independent body.
Wides further remarked that, as a result of the Church Committee revelations, "at least the liberal community was outraged, and especially because they were spying on First Amendment activities of Americans dissenting, etc." But in contrast today, "What I find among many of the same types of liberals who were outraged then ... (now) is 'I don't care, I don't care, even if they're spying on my First Amendment activities'" if there is some infinitesimal chance it will stop a terrorist attack. "That's the big change," Wides said.
Wides also made the point that, if Obama and the CIA want to keep something, like the Senate torture report, secret, that there is an established procedure by which the Senate can override the executive branch and make it public. (This is also the case vis-a-vis the suppressed 28 pages of the Joint Congressional Inquiry Report on 9/11.
