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.
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.
