A key Senate Republican is blasting the Obama administration's decision to release relatively lightly redacted DOJ memos from the Bush era -- the so-called "torture memos" -- which approved interrogation techniques like waterboarding.
The ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, Senator Kit Bond of Missouri, just told me that he's "disappointed" by the release of these memos.
Bond believes the administration "released far too much information," adding that he thinks Al Qaeda will use this information to train their followers to resist interrogation and that it will provide "propaganda for Al Qaeda's media machine."
Bottom line: Bond believes this release will "make us less safe and "heighten anger" in parts of the world "where we're trying to make friends."
