Why didn't Obama declassify the Panetta report on the Bush/Cheny supported CIA torture methods? Maybe because Obama is as 'transparent' as a brick wall...
'Former CIA Director Leon Panetta says that he was cursed at by President Barack Obama’s former chief of staff after he agreed to cooperate with the Senate’s investigation into his agency’s torture tactics in the wake of 9/11.'
Obama now that he is the president all the things he bashed bush with he is finding that isn't black and white just like GTMO he campaigned to close it said everyone in there were innocent now he finds out that's not the case. Bush did have a good reason to have GTMO same situation he has figured out that the so called torture which it isn't when you compare it to real torture is actually worked and they got information.
Until the current president repudiates the legal directives of the Bush administration in an open and adjudicated fashion, this report and the crimes it details, are just as much his baby as anyone’s.
The political books in the genre of Game Change have dropped all efforts to censor out profanity because most top politicos now have a total potty mouth. Hillary Clinton might be the all time champ in this regard. Dick Cheney and John McCain are not far behind.
Ronald Reagan self-censored, writing h**l and d**n in his diary. I don't think he ever dropped an F bomb. President Barack Obama seems to share Reagan's sense of self-control, and does not have the potty mouth that has now become ubiquitous in our nation's capitol.
Tired of Obama trying to play dumb. There's no way he wasn't aware this was happening and I grow tired of him acting like this is just something Bush was doing and no one bothered to let him know. Obama and Bush have the same terrible foreign policy.
Even if Bush authorized this, Obama had every power to stop it and chose not to.
Our government tortures people. Let that sink in and remember: what's stopping them from doing that to you?
