What Was the CIA Up To?: "Shouldn't the White House at least digest the 3,000 intelligence reports produced between September 11, 2001, and April 2003, from the CIA's 'high value detainees'--that is, the folks who most likely passed through the agency's black sites? How in the world can the president be so certain so quickly that aggressive interrogation doesn't work? One may conclude that sleep deprivation, walling, or waterboarding is morally repugnant, even when committed against holy warriors who incinerate skyscrapers, but
that does not necessarily mean that these procedures are ineffective (or criminal). Critics of these programs may counter that we will never know whether KSM would have cracked if the CIA had just followed the Marquess of Queensberry debriefing rules and emphasized empathy and fraternity over pain. Maybe. But the evidence--so far--suggests that the CIA tried that path first."
If they took the time to look over everything they may not have been so quick to say "Bush's fault" again. But this poser of a president is too busy trying to lay blame on Bush for all of America's faults. Apologizing for everything and then releasing classified documents without even looking at them.
He is an amateur. And it will bite him in the ass when his memos are released.
Not only has he told terrorists what to expect and what we will not do now, he has prepared them for our interrogators. All for the sake of punishing Bush.
When he is out of office, perhaps the next man in there will do the same to him and trash his legacy which is already in great peril. If not for the MSM being his cheerleaders, i suspect the American people would be calling for his impeachment already at the 100 day mark.
