Four former CIA directors opposed releasing classified Bush-era interrogation memos, officials say, describing objections that went all the way to the White House and slowed release of the records.
Former CIA chiefs Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, George Tenet and John Deutch all called the White House in March warning that release of the so-called "torture memos" would compromise intelligence operations, current and former officials say. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity in order to detail internal government discussions.
President Barack Obama ultimately overruled those concerns after internal discussions that intensified in the weeks after the former directors intervened. The memos were released Thursday.

...warning that release of the so-called "torture memos" would compromise intelligence operations... Well, that's the whole point.

In less than 48 hours Obama just proved what many were saying, he's a traitor.

I remember a book called None Dare Call It Treason. If it were written today, all they would have to do is take the news off the front pages of the New York Times reporting on the Treasonista In Chief, Obama.

Released them but refuses to prosecute.
Shows us why he released them.
There is enough to start impeachment.
DHS report and now this.

Four former CIA directors opposed releasing classified Bush-era interrogation memos — The left’s response, applause.
Valerie Plame — The left loses it’s collective mind...moral equivalency?

Has there been any other President in the History of the U.S. to do this very thing that Obama did today? Just curious! I’m betting that Carter came close to doing this but did he or anyone else do something in the realm of this?

A Clinton move. Take the heat off ones self by distraction.

Obama’s feeling a backlash of immense proportion from the CIA and they will never forget what he just did. They may even refuse a direct order from him just to keep him from throwing them under the bus later.

Not only is he stupid, he is gutless as well...he was concerned about the consequences of releasing the files, but figured the ACLU would win the case...wouldn't even fight for what he claimed to believe.
What a total f...head!

I know it’s true. I know a former agent who still has contacts and just today he told me of the fear in the agency.
