Obama Outs CIA Secrets to Benefit ACLU

Obama the Immaculate decided to publish secret Bush Administration memos concerning CIA interrogation techniques in order to allow the ACLU to use them in an upcoming lawsuit.

It's damaging because these are techniques that work, and by Obama's action today, we are telling the terrorists what they are. We have laid it all out for our enemies. This is totally unnecessary. … Publicizing the techniques does grave damage to our national security by ensuring they can never be used again — even in a ticking-time- bomb scenario where thousands or even millions of American lives are at stake."

I don't believe Obama would intentionally endanger the nation, so it must be that he thinks either 1. the previous administration, including the CIA professionals who have defended this program, is lying about its importance and effectiveness, or 2. he believes we are no longer really at war and no longer face the kind of grave threat to our national security this program has protected against.” - A former top Bush administration official's comments on release of the memos

The memos are now posted on multiple news and political web sites, where any jerk who hates America can study them - and these are classified memos?????

We know the Obama administration believes there is no War on Terror - they have said as much. But to go out and give aid and comfort to the enemy in this fashion, simply to try and embarrass President Bush? That's criminal.

Update - Dick Cheney yesterday called upon the Obama administration and the CIA to declassify reports detailing the information that was gathered from terrorists who were subjected to waterboarding and other enhanced techniques. The Obama regime only wants one side of the story told - not wanting the actual results of the interrogations to be made public. From what I have heard about the intel gathered, it will surprise the American people at how much was gained, and how it produced tangible, verifiable results in preventing terrorist attackes on US soil.

I hope Obama has the decency to do this, though I doubt it. I predict that he will announce that the information in those reports is too sensitive to be released.
