Oh Good, Obama Agrees To Release CIA Photos Of Detainee Treatment
Calling the ACLU push to release the photographs “prurient” and “reprehensible,” Dr. Mark M. Lowenthal, former Assistant Director of Central Intelligence for Analysis and Production, tells ABC News that the Obama administration should have taken the case all the way to the Supreme Court.
“They should have fought it all the way; if they lost, they lost,” Lowenthal said. “There’s nothing to be gained from it. There’s no substantive reason why those photos have to be released.”
Lowenthal said the president’s moves in the last week have left many in the CIA dispirited, based on “the undercurrent I’ve been getting from colleagues still in the building, or colleagues who have left not that long ago.”
“We ask these people to do extremely dangerous things, things they’ve been ordered to do by legal authorities, with the understanding that they will get top cover if something goes wrong,” Lowenthal says. “They don’t believe they have that cover anymore.” Releasing the photographs “will make it much worse,” he said.
Well I think that when another attack on U.S. soil happens and americans are murdered by terrorists once again, then we will be prosecuting a man named Obama for not doing his job and protecting our nation. Yup, Prosecution is the way to go.
Except that with 80% of the MSM firmly in full propaganda mode they’ll find a way to excuse Obama, blame Bush somehow, or both.
Yes, in the new Amerika, up is down, down is up! There is no such thing as common sense and logic! There is only what is proclaimed from Washington; that is all you ever need to know. And they will tell you what to think about it! There is no longer a Constitution, it is now the Konstitution! Get used to it, lemmings and sheeple! You Klowns who wanted change, you got it!
Of course Robert. Just one more thing to pin on Bush. Like Dennis Miller once asked ‘how many 9/11′s do we have to endure before people wake up?’ Why did we even have the 9/11 Commission if only to ignore it’s warning?
I think Fox News will counter the msm to some extent. Thankfully they do a good job and considering their ratings are through the roof, at least some are listening.
This administration is the most divisive I have ever seen. And he wailed about bringing all of us together. Well Mr. NObama it ain’t gonna happen as long as you hail to the terrorists.
I have not seen or heard this mentioned but it was one of my biggest concerns during the campaign. Could he be enabling terrorists and bashing America because of his muslim background? Once a muslim, always a muslim.
Fox is the 20%. But of course that’s why the Left hates it so much (calling it Faux News) because it is the only MSM outlet that is not a Leftist propaganda spewer.
This Admin is severely divisive. Yet another campaign promise broken. He hasn’t fulfilled one yet…
Check that, he promised change and we’re getting that. Oh yeah, we’re getting change all right…
