Obama Defends Interrogation Memo Release During CIA Visit

CNN: The president asserted that he had released the documents primarily because of the "exceptional circumstances that surrounded these memos, particularly the fact that so much of the information was [already] public. ... The covert nature of the information had been compromised."

America…Saul Alinsky Obama is trying to reveal what he thinks is evidence to support his weak diplomacy technique of dissing America and blaming America for all the ills of the world!

I’d like to see the same kind of documents of other countries! America has techniques to get info from prisoners that will save American lives…he…obviously…doesn’t think those America lives are worth it!

He is a dispicable man and definitely not a leader! He is not a bridge builder but a destroyer of men and policy.

He is a blamer of men…he did it…not me…I was only a baby…and you still are…Saul…..grow up!

========================

JUST ANOTHER PATHETIC DAY IN THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN” AND HIS AGENDA TO TAKE AMERICA DOWN BY DISSING OUR GREAT NATION TO THOSE WHO WILL HATE US NO MATTER WHAT WE DO!

Dumbest POTUS ever!!!

These tactics were used against terrorists who killed innocent Americans in a NON-WAR situation! If we believe that a terrorist has information that can save thousands of lives (American or not), we need to use the tactics necessary to get that information.
If Obama’s wife or children were taken captive, what tactics would HE be willing to use THEN to secure them?? Aren’t the lives of others in jeopardy just as valid??!

Obama needs to go farther.

The US Government does not need tortures in its ranks.

Anyone involved should be dismissed from service and Cheney and everyone else who signed off on this travesty need to spend time in a dark dank cell.

I understand that, with the Obama administration taking a kinder and gentler stand with terrorists, that putting terrorists on the Disney amusement park Teacup ride, with all it’s suddend movements and jostling, is now considered torture.

Obama is clearly demonstated to the world that he has no testicular fortitude.

waterboarding is a technique used to SIMULATE drowning. I dont care if they used it 1000 times on one guy, these people are terrorists and have destroyed so many peoples lives just on Sept. 11th alone. Who cares if they feel like they are drowning, if it saves us from another attack, or to find out information about their organization, lets do it. Those people wouldn’t hesitate to pull out someones finger nails, chop limbs off, gouge eyeballs out-whatever it took to get their information. These people are hard core terrorists, so why does the libs care so much about them??? I really don’t get it. Whether or not you agree with everything or nothing that the Bush admin did, you do what is necessary to keep your country safe, and for whatever reason this top secret info just had to get out to give these crazy terrorists the upper hand. I don’t get it.

This president is a putz. Lets now release all the documents showing results of these techniques and how many lives doing them saved, How many attempts at another 9/11 were averted. Lets see those, you moron.
