New York Times ^ | 4/16/09 | Mark Mazzetti

After a tense internal debate, the Obama administration this afternoon will make public a number of detailed memos describing the harsh interrogation techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency against al Qaeda suspects in secret overseas prisons.

The interrogation methods were among the Bush administration's most closely guarded secrets, and today's release will be the most comprehensive public accounting to date of the interrogation program that some senior Obama administration officials have said used illegal torture....

I am convinced now more than ever that Obama is actually making a concerted attempt to destroy this country one piece at a time.

What liberal, left wing, ignorant a-holes. There is absolutely no reason for this as releasing this info will not have our enemy love us as ZerO hopes it will. What a pandering, appeasing moron.

When is Obama going to release his ‘top secret’ birth-certificate?

This is TREASON!

For once I agree with Leon Panetta.

The only reason to release this stuff is to give ammo to loony Spanish judges and those in this country who want show trials.

OK.... whatever one's opinions on the matter of the techniques themselves, it's a damned-fool thing to release these memos to the public.

For proof, one need look no further than the unintended consequences of the disclosures of what those dumb-sh*ts did at Abu Ghraib prison. The acts themselves, and more particularly the embellishment of them, turned out to be an outstanding recruiting tool for the insurgents in Iraq.

Obama apparently wants to be perceived as honest and above-board, but he clearly has no sense of what those disclosures will lead to down the road. It is, one suspects, more about his own feelings than about responsible presidential behavior.

He fails to take into account the propaganda value that these memos will undoubtedly have among those who are already vulnerable to Taliban overtures.

God save us from Obama's malignant and adolescent narcissism.

Will this improve national security? .... No. It will harm it.
Will this improve America’s image? .... No. At best, it won’t change anything.
Will this incite additional Muslim violence? .... Yes. Any excuse to kill.

So why would Obama do this? .... He is still in campaigning. America be damned.

This is the first shot fired. They will try to bring Bush and the entire administration to trial.
