Cause it was a “matter of fairness” (whatever the hell that means).
Same thing here. We need to be “fair” with psychotic thugs who wish to murder as many Americans as possible.
In other words:
Being effective, and thus fair to all who seek to play by the rules of a civilized world.....
.....doesn't matter because we must be fair to all the scum of the world.
Im sorry, I should have said.....
..........doesn't matter because we must carry the lazy and kiss the butt of all the scum of the world.
Why does obama appear to WANT our nation to be attacked by terrorists?
Why did obama appoint such an obviously weak and rather brain-dead person to be the head of our Homeland Security?
What is going on?
Are liberals so intent on whitewashing the danger of terrorism (for instance there is no longer a war on terror (oh...really??? Does Osama know this obama?)) that we are not supposed to ever say war on terror again but rather acknowledge that there are incidents in some places some of the time that can be rather upsetting ( or Beheading, donchaknow?))
WE DO NOT HAVE ANY ADULTS IN CHARGE ...WE HAVE A BUNCH OF AGED HIPPIES ADVISING A NARCISSISTIC PRIG WHO HAS THE EXPERIENCE OF A LIBRARIAN WHEN IT COMES TO RUNNING THE GREATEST NATION ON EARTH. HOW LONG ARE WE GOING TO GIVE THIS PRIG OUR OVAL OFFICE?
BRING IN BO---HE COULD DO A BETTER JOB THAN THAT LIBERAL SNIVELING MIRROR DEDICATED MONKEY.
As the WSJ writes, Obama is poison.
We do have an adult in charge, it is Obama. He is doing just what he said during the campaign. Making America pay for the Bush years and President Bush’s doing what was necessary to defend this country. BHO will seemingly shift his position and let the Pelosi/Reid Congress take the heat for doing what BHO actually wants done.
BHO does want the US unable to defend itself, then out of the dust and debris, he will have a better way to enforce the communistic changes he wants to impose on our nation.
Yup.
The “liberal” take on this is not only “it’s torture!” but (despite evidence to the contrary), that these terrorists were cruelly tortured in order that they would reveal an Iraq/AlQaeda connection to justify the war.
The present administraion will use torture when it suits their agenda.
Can’t wait to see the “in-depth expose’” by the NY Times about how government redactions were made to skew the report presented to the public.
Bush of course. That he tortured people etc. that is why they continue to come after us.
For the longest time I wondered why he would even open this can of worms. I can only come to the conclusion that he is
1. looking to increase his base numbers
2. continue to make Bush look bad (thus make bad decisions that he has to, in order to make up for bush’s fault)
3. to redirect our attention away from what he is doing so that this is in the headlines and not other things he wants to push forward undetected.
Only on American citizens ..
In releasing these classified documents Obama dismissed ALL advice from the former CIA Directors who OPPOSED publication of the Top Secret memos (Hillary was right about the serious danger in Obama’s lack of experience)
Holder, Emanuel, et al., then redacted certain portions of the memos that discussed the programs success (see Memo, May 30, 2005, from John A Rizzo, pages 10 & 11; portions before and after the redactions).
The memos were altered (by selective redactions) and then published to support the Obama’s claim that these techniques were torture and did not work. The exact opposite is true.
Obama and his clan - WILL DO ANYTHING to advance their hyper-partisan special interests, even the selective declassification, alteration and publications of Top Secret CIA documents! They do not care about our safety.
Obama learned that he is completely controlled and a puppet of the ACLU, George Soros and his moveon dot org anti-freedom group. He’s just the front man.
A lot of harm has been done. CIA staff are now seeking private attorneys and state the Agency “is broken”. Al Qaeda is laughing at us and our allies are shocked and fear that additional, currently classified documents, may also be suddenly be declassified and published for partisan political gain and at their expense.
AG Holder is the same legal lap dog that approved of the Marc Rich pardon for the Clintons and later admitted that it was one of his larger mistakes. He knows only one concept of law and that’s political partisan law.
Obama also signaled that he (like Bill Clinton) sees the War on Terror is not a war at all, but rather just a legal matter, which is the sad and simplistic mindset that brought us the tragedy of 9/11.
I wonder what additional TOP SECRET documents Obama and Soros will declassify next to serve their deranged political agenda.

CIA Memos Released; Immunity for Harsh Tactics
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB123990682923525977.html
“... The ACLU initiated the Freedom of Information Act lawsuit that pressed for the release of the memos.
(ACLU Dir) Mr. Romero denounced Mr. Obama’s assurances against government prosecution....While Mr. Obama promised not to prosecute CIA officials, Mr. Romero said the president should consider whether the authors of the memos and Bush administration officials who approved the techniques should face criminal charges.....”
-How odd, then Obama did just as Romero suggested.
watch these papers disappear
watch those papers disappear about Pelosi being at a meeting and knowing that these types of interrogation happened or would happen
transparency , yea right
Even the polls are trying to say that bozo the clown has over 60% ratings still and yet I know a few Dems who have said they wished they had never voted for him now.
Then over half think that we are going in the right direction and the right speed
bozo voters are the dumbest voters this country has ever produced I swear
Don't hold your breath.
agreed
I have been saying that liberalism is a mental disease.
they do not understand the world and the dangers we face so they wrap themselves in their fantasy world to make themselves feel better.
I mean come on what kind of sane person thinks that us not doing water boarding will make us be treated better by Islamic nutters.
it is amazing how many times the Dems have been found lying and yet the media still cover for them.
Issues like the president didn;t bow and the media actually do not feel insulted to their intelligence
astounding
no lobbyists and there is
release papers but only about the interrogation and not the results
the list goes on and these saps actually take it in
Jonathan Landay and McClatchy Newspapers Still Ignorant About Saddam’s Ties To Al Queda
Don;t tell Obama waterboardiong worked!
Next thing you know Janet Napolitano will be waterboarding Rush Limbaugh.
Laugh not. Its in their cards.
I've read much that substantiates your theory, which was well stated. I don't know about others, but this strikes me as malfeasance in office, and a VERY serious misstep.
Obama promised transparency-—when “Bush did it!”
zot: The present administration will use torture when it suits their agenda.
Munz: Only on American citizens.
zot: And they will call it re-education.
