The Watergate of Waterboarding

Former CIA Director George Tenet has said,

“I know that this program has saved lives. I know we’ve disrupted plots. I know this program alone is worth more than the FBI, Central Intelligence Agency, and the National Security Agency put together have been able to tell us.”

And reporting on the interrogation methods used at the Guantanamo Bay, Cuba facility, the August 2004 Schlesinger Commission report said, “At Guantanamo, the interrogators used those additional techniques with only two detainees, gaining important and time-urgent information in the process.” (Emphasis added) [snip]

The only way this can be resolved is for Obama to release the documents Cheney asked for which, so far, Obama has refused to do. He said that the declassification and release of the “torture memos” was for compelling reasons which are not present with regard to the Cheney documents.

Obama is engaged in a coverup and partnering with Pelosi to damage our national security. If legal but harsh interrogations worked to save American lives, they must be reinstituted regardless of political gain or loss...

[Just like producing a birth certificate would completely close that issue - yet it's refused.]
