The Marines that are now on alert are already in the Persian Gulf and in the Gulf of Aden. Marines are perpetually stationed in the area – both on ship and on land bases. Osprey aircraft are also stationed there.
There is a real possibility of potential attacks at US Embassies and military bases overseas. Security has been increased at these critical sites.
The CIA report, according to the Senate Intelligence Committee, claims that the CIA deliberately "provided inaccurate information to the White House, Congress, the Justice Department, the CIA inspector general, the media and the American public." Although the report does not use the word "torture," other statements within clearly indicate that torture was involved.
Comment: This news certainly is not a surprise to those who keep up with the news. There have been reports about water-boarding circulating for some time. I think most people suspected it.
The problem with this is that now the United States is clearly in the same rank as other nations who use torture as part of their daily treatment of prisoners. How the glorious nation has fallen!
Christian values departed when the Bible was taken out of the schools. Its departure is picking up speed as people who say they love God stop going to Church and reading the Bible!
We need revival in America! If you are a saved Christian, will you join me in serious prayer for it? This is where the change toward good and God's glory on our land begins. Not in politics – but in the prayer closet! II Chronicles 7:14 is still in the Bible: "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."
