(30,045 posts)using these kind of powers who Obama trusted John Brennan to make these calls on his own without his approval. That is an information made aware of from an article based on the relationship between Barack Obama & John Brennan during the Senate Torture Report hearings. What is behind the approvals is John Brennan doesn't need them because Obama trusts him so much. (I'll dig for the article, trust me it exists).
Now the blind faith people are going to doubt this information but the information shouldn't matter, it is allowing a President CIA Director with these powers. Even if the blind faith people have it now, what about when new people take up these jobs? You shouldn't have blind faith in something a sociopath could easily ruin other people's life with, they wouldn't want to be the other end of that cold reality check but it seems the thing blind faith people lack is a cold reality check which is something I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. By cold reality checks I mean things like being locked away in a mental institution and being "gaslighted" for the rest of your life.
