Obama Playing Shameful Politics With CIANewsmax.com - Obama Playing Shameful Politics With CIA (http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/obama_cia/2009/05/14/214317.html - broken link)
By: Ronald Kessler

In the beginning, President Obama said he wanted to make us safer by letting potential terrorists know that we do not engage in torture. The idea was that sending that message would deprive terrorists of a recruiting tool.

So, even though enhanced interrogation techniques had not been employed since 2003, and Michael Hayden as CIA director banned their use three years later, Obama said he was stopping them.

Then Obama released Justice Department memos describing the enhanced interrogation techniques that had been used on three terrorists. In doing so, despite his claim that he did not want do so, Obama provided terrorists with ammunition to recruit more terrorists.

Conservatives and Obama playing shameful politics when it comes to torture...Throw all that support or attempt to hide the crimes committed by the Bush administration into a cell and throw away the key.... Starting with Bush and Cheney.

And Pelosi and every Democrat, who knew it was happening and accepted it.

Clear house completely. But it won't happen.

Nothing will happen, because Pelosi is dirty on this. Obama and the rest of the Democrats will let this completely die.

You don't want the truth to come out.

In the next few days, there will be a movement growing to remove Pelosi from House Speaker. There is already talk about it.

Obama made a big mistake with the documents and pictures.

Wrong..I want the truth to come out b ecause I'm a patriot.. I suspect the movement to remove pelosi right now is about as strong as the teabag movement( not very). If Pelosi authorized torture though I will be in the front of the line asking for her removal.

Keep on laughing. Many people do not like to post their comments, but like Polls. Having both is a nice way to please both.

If you don't like polls, don't vote. You don't even have to read through the thread. Just move on...

The CIA is an organization to be ashamed of. Hence, it deserves to be treated shamefully.
