BTW, "contrition" is precisely what rankles for most of the naysayers. Pride is disgusting.

Just tell me the truth. I'm a grown-up. I can handle it.

@ Dutch, who said "but when releasing these memoes will do nothing except fuel anger against us and put our troops in further danger."

Biggest misperception about this whole thing. The reality is, the "muslim world" wants to (and needs to) see that we are capable of acknowledging when we have done wrong and holding ourselves AND OUR LEADERS accountable for it. Otherwise, we are failing miserably at being a "shining example" that democracy works. Sure, it brought an emormous regime change and paradigm shift in our collective thinking and policies when we went through our election process and Obama took the helm, but what good is all that if we glibly move on as if the past 8 years (or several decades) never happened? So no, the muslim world will not be further enraged...some may attempt to use the memos in that manner, of course...but the vast majority will see it as a step towards contrition.

I can now Imagine why Limbaugh's Mom and Dad named him RUSH !!

Because he has a very Rushing Mouth.

His Mouth always Rushes of Garbage Talk.

Rush Limbaugh Rush...... Rush it all the Way. Rush till you Last.
Never Stop Rushing.

Rush you are the Rushiest Rusher.

Paul from Kissimmee – Please tell us WHERE is it wrotten that torture is legal in the US. Which LAW turned it a legal procedure in the US?

CIA tapes, Sanford's affair, and Al Franken.

Talk about smoke screens that keep Libs foaming at the mouth.

How about Cap and Trade CNN? Where are you articles about the issues that are really going to make a difference in our lives?

Republicans call Obama a Muslim.

So What?

Bush is a Hitler.

We prefer a Muslim to a Hitler.

"Obama must be incompetent, he can't figure out what is important. My guess is all the good things that came out of the highly effective enhanced enterogation methods is redacted"

Uh, I think the proper word is torture. You know, like what we executed the Japanese and Germans for after WW2. Remember??

It's kinda funny to see the liberals calling for jail time not for breaking the law, (because they didn't break any laws), but just for not being like them. Funny or sad?

Now is not the time to release the CIA's report. We all have a pretty good idea of what it contains. There is enough hate for America around the world without giving them further ammo. Our troops will be in more danger than they are now-they deserve better from us. These documents will come out sooner or later. Then we can get Bush & Cheney.

What is Obama covering up.......

seriously... what is wrong with you? This isn't Obama, this is the CIA that made this decision.

Why do you think that Obama controls every aspect of the American gvt all by himself? You do understand that there are other people that work for the gvt and that many of those people can actually do things without the President having a say... right?

I guess there's still too many pages of important details left to "Blackout" to protect the guilty as usual!

If the military wants to torture its recruit then thats fine, they ask for it when they signed up. Prisoners of war didn't…

You are wrong on three counts in your short post. First, enhanced interogation is not torture, it was carefully crafted to stop short of torture. Second, we didn't perform enhanced interogation techniques on any prisoners of war, only on enemy combatants who, by definition, are excluded from the protections of the Geneva conventions. Third, the people who we performed these techniques on did sign up for what they got when they killed 3,000 innocent civilians.

Stay away from the white linen, your bleading heart will stain it.

[...] The re-release of a May 2004 internal CIA report on the agency’s secret detention and interrogation program was again delayed this afternoon, CNN reports. [...]

Obama must be incompetent, he can't figure out what is important. My guess is all the good things that came out of the highly effective enhanced enterogation methods is redacted.

Cheney better get his mojo working again, we have some more pathetic attempts to rewrite history on the way.

I applaud them for pausing a minute to consider what the heck they are doing by releasing this kind of report to the world. The question should be if this is all about high standards of national behavior or low standards of national politics.

After all the press surrounding the interrogation techniques used at Gitmo it really doesn't matter if the reports are released or not.

The initial photos released from Abu Graih prison and all the publicity since have shown that torture was condoned by the CIA to get information and this torture was ordered by Bush and Cheney.

Bush and Cheney should be prosecuted as war criminals.

Don't Don't Please Never Ever Release the CIA interrogation reports.

Don't Don't Please Never Ever Release the Iraq War WMDs intelligence reports.

We don't want Bush and Cheney to be tried by the UNO's International Court of Justice for War Crimes.

C'mon Pres. Obama, where's the transparency? Just release the report and let the prosecution of Bush, et. al. commence.

Release them! We already know that Cheney lied and the CIA went even beyond what "W" thought they were doing.

The memoes are just going to confirm what the public knew from the jump. We tortured prisoners. These memoes should be kept classified. I'm all for a transparent government, but when releasing these memoes will do nothing except fuel anger against us and put our troops in further danger. I'm confident in the comments made by Sen. Levin a few weeks back stating that the torture of the "high value" detainees did not save American lives.

Thats fine so long as they release it by the end of this year.

If the military wants to torture its recruit then thats fine, they ask for it when they signed up. Prisoners of war didn't...

by not allowing the documents to be released?

"Many fewer redactions...more substance"

Good then we can all see that Cheney was wrong once again.

All the republicans back the torture they imposed on the prisoners – and they know its wrong to torture. Shame on all of them.

Great – Obama throws up a bunch of graphs and numbers then works to block the REAL information. That's transparency. That is a scam.

Question Authority!
Question The Man!
