Bill O-Reilly on the John Adams Project

Our Texas correspondent, J-Carp, send me this link regarding this alarming and developing story.

...[T]he John Adams Project, a group of subversive Americans affiliated with the ACLU who are sneaking around taking pictures of CIA agents who may have interrogated captured al-Qaida guys in the wake of the Sept. 11 attack.

This insidious outfit believes the CIA tortured casually and the U.S.A. is a “human rights violator.”

After taking the surreptitious photos, the Adams Project then passes them on to lawyers representing incarcerated terrorists, hoping that an accused man will, in turn, accuse a CIA agent of torturing him.

This nasty business is now being investigated by the Justice Department, but the Obama administration has kept very quiet about it and, strangely, so have the media.

Very few newspapers have reported on the John Adams Project, and there is something quite disturbing about that.

Remember Valerie Plame? She was the CIA operative publicly exposed by columnist Robert Novak in an Iraq weapons-of-mass-destruction controversy.

After that happened, the left-wing media went wild with indignation. How could anyone name a CIA person, thereby putting him or her in danger?

The New York Times was on fire over the story. But when faced with the facts about the John Adams Project, the Times buried the story on page A-20.

By exposing CIA agents to accused terrorists and their lawyers, the John Adams Project is obviously putting lives in jeopardy.

This is a thousand times worse than the Plame affair, which saw top Dick Cheney aide Scooter Libby convicted of a felony while the press largely celebrated.

But where is the coverage of the Adams story? Where is President Obama on the issue? Why are these people being allowed to terrorize the Central Intelligence Agency?

Meanwhile, the real John Adams is turning over in his grave. Here's liberal lawyer Nina Ginsberg spouting the standard "everyone-in-the-CIA-except-Valerie-Plame-is-evil" line:

  1. I'm OK with J-Carp being your "Texas correspondent" so long as I am your "correspondent from Texas".

    To wit, you'll dig Dreher's offering in our local paper today. Looks like The Crunchy One is calling kathleen a "zombie conservative".

  2. zzzzz....

    What Dreher and others fail to report on is the bizzarre way in which Obama took credit for the kids education. "I'm gonna make sure you have the books you need, make sure the lights are working, etc....." something like that. What, aren't there schoolboards or maintenance staff in public schools anymore?

    We all *knew* that the President wasn't going to spout lines from the Communist Manifesto and that what he would say would sound wonderful to parents without their thinking caps on.

  4. Pikkumatti, you could be the Southern US correspondent if you would just accept my offer to blog here. BTW, I think Mark Adams is making his home in the Lone Star state at present, yet he has seemingly fallen off the edge of the blogosphere.
