More grandstanding by the Obama DOJ

http://graphics8.nytimes.com/packages/images/nytint/docs/justice-department-memos-on-interrogation-techniques/original.pdf

These are the memos that our current DOJ released about torture. 80 pages that Barry released with these words “Baring what he called a ‘dark and painful chapter in our history,’. Was it really a dark and painful chapter in our history? Certainly painful due to the loss of lives on 9/11 and maybe dark but coming from an administration that has been consistently lying to us this is more political grandstanding and trying to play to his extreme left wing base that they knew would be extremely upset because the DOJ will not prosecute the CIA. If you do read the memos you will actually see striking things: the concern that is shown for the health and well-being of the detainees; the very limited circumstances under which harsh interrogation techniques were used (only when the CIA had reason to believe that the detainee had knowledge about pending terrorist attacks, among other limitations), and confirmation of the fact that thousands of American servicemen have been waterboarded and subjected to the other techniques in question, as part of their training--a practice that continued at least up to the dates of the memos.

The DOJ came to the only legal conclusion that they could here, that the likelihood of getting a conviction would be nil since the CIA agents in question relied on these legal memorandums. The other facts that have been shown, which are contrary to what the left through their useful idiots in the media are trying to sell, is that this "coercive questioning" not torture as the left calls it, were very successful. The CIA officials who extracted valuable information from captured Al Qaeda leaders--information that we have every reason to believe prevented successful terrorist attacks--are heroes. Their task was a thankless one, but, based on all the information we have now, including the newly-released DOJ memos, they performed it well.

Let us wait and see how pure this administration can stay when the shoe is on their foot. Just changing the name of the War on Terror is not going to solve the issues or make Islamic extremists love us. If you actually believe that these type of issues are not going to raise their ugly but necessary head in the future than you are more than naive. Just keep singing Kumbya and drinkiing that Pinko Kool-Aid and it will all be better tomorrow.
