Obama's Torture Cover Up?

[Mott the Hoople]

I just don't understand why this adminstration is going to these lengths to cover-up what the bush adminstration did that was illegal.

At this point, I believe that Obama took ownership of this. And that has been the biggest disappointment I have had in him thus far.

My guess is that they are protecting assets in the field. Remember one of the lessons of 911 was our over reliance on electronic intelligence and not enough of the dirty, messy, dealing with disgusting excuse for human beings human intelligence. Not that this justifies torture.

Sometimes it is just rather unpleasant to have your suspicions proved right about people.

Never mind though, it's all about healthcare and the economy now. In fact it would probably be better for everybody if this torture stuff just went away and was never talked about again.

Dude, one more word out of you and we'll tie you to a chair, super glue your eyes open and force you to watch reruns of Friends. (God that's cruel!)

I imagine this ruling rests on the position taken by the Bush Administration, not the Obama administration. Having said that, the Obama folks ought to work to permit the disclosure of the information and soon.

LOL Dream on.
