Obama Releases Torture Memos

The government released four memos in which Bush-era lawyers approved in often graphic detail tough interrogation methods used against 28 terror suspects. The rough tactics range from waterboarding — simulated drowning — to keeping suspects naked and withholding solid food.Even as they exposed new details of the interrogation program, Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder, offered the first definitive assurance that those CIA officials are in the clear, as long as their actions were in line with the legal advice at the time.

Obama said the nation must protect the identity of CIA contractors and employees "as vigilantly as they protect our security."

"We have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history," the president said. "But at a time of great challenges and disturbing disunity, nothing will be gained by spending our time and energy laying blame for the past." - ABC News Story

I 100% disagree that we have been through a dark and painful chapter in our history. I believe that we are entering a dark and painful chapter, the next attack will be even more painful than the last.

The Bush Administration did their job of keeping America and Americans safe from another Terrorist attack. I am not sure that this Administration is prepared to do this.

The release of this information will not only make the job of interrogation much more difficult, it gives fuel to the enemy.

This is yet another blunder on the part of an inexperienced Leader.
