Ex-CIA chiefs slowed ‘torture memos’ release (but Traitor Obama did it anyway!)

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.

Thank you for the reminder, I forgot about the phone call. That makes it even worse. The toilet is flushed and we are circling the bowl.

The only things that come close to this were the Church Hearings in the early ‘70’s. A lot of anti-anything-having-to-do-with-Nixon feelings.

God help America

Nope...He wont help now. Hussein the baby killer has also turned his back on Israel.

Yet the shit head and his clown group are so tight lipped on anything regarding their combined near or actual criminal level activities over the years. There most probably as rotten as the Clinton’s where/are.

Obama is the un-president; it’s official.

[McGavin999]

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.

Now they know what President Bush felt when they betrayed him.

BOZerO is performing his communist-in-chief duties very well. I hope the idiots who voted for this vapid demagogue are happy about it.

Hussein is gonna get a lot of Americans killed unnecessarily because of his stupidity!

ironic that this guy left almost no paper trail behind him in his days as a state senator or US senator.

ordinarily, I would caution him to be careful how he treats former presidents, since all presidents become former presidents sooner or later . . . but this guy hasn't left any footprints in anything he has done in life. hell, we aren't even sure we have seen his real birth certificate.
