Cheney Wants More Memos Released

Now that the memos showing the rulings of interrogation techniques have been released, the Obama administration should release additional documents that show what the interrogations yielded to make it an "honest debate," former Vice President Dick Cheney told FOX News on Monday.

In an interview with FOX News' Sean Hannity aired on "Hannity" Monday night, Cheney questioned the point of releasing the legal decisions behind the interrogations but not the outcome of them.

"One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort," Cheney said.

Cheney said he's asked that the documents be declassified because he has remained silent on the confidential information, but he knows how successful the interrogation process was and wants the rest of the country to understand. - FOX News Story

Cheney makes a very good point. It is so easy for all of these people to sit in Judgment and for Obama to ride the proverbial white horse, until we get the whole story.

Give us the whole story. Was the information that was recovered of immediate use to prevent future attacks? What did they get?

My guess is that Obama will keep those Classified in order to keep the story to the one that he wants to tell. That would be the Obama Way.
