Whiny liberals...

FYI, the liberals are not the ones reporting these threads. There are moderators 3 moderators online right now (yes, some are marked as invisible) that browse Tacoma World often. We don't like filling out the butt hurt forms, so we try to prevent it before it happens.

 

thx...i even got repped from a mod...lol

 

the tapes/reports came about from an ACLU lawsuit against the CIA. The DoJ were doing the investigation and reported on what they found. how is that obama releasing reports on bush?

 

i saw this.....
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration threw open the curtain on years of Bush-era secrets Monday, revealing anti-terror memos that claimed exceptional search-and-seizure powers and divulging that the CIA destroyed nearly 100 videotapes of interrogations and other treatment of terror suspects.
The Justice Department released nine legal opinions showing that, following the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, the Bush administration determined that certain constitutional rights would not apply during the coming fight. Within two weeks, government lawyers were already discussing ways to wiretap U.S. conversations without warrants.

and

The Obama administration also acknowledged in court documents Monday that the CIA destroyed 92 videos involving terror suspects, including interrogations — far more than had been known. Congressional Democrats and other critics have charged that some of the harsh interrogation techniques amounted to torture, a contention President George W. Bush and other Bush officials rejected.

thats stating that the DoJ released them and the obama administration acknowledged them. Aside from that entire article, I didnt see where it said Obama personally OK'd the relese of Bush's papers. Hopefully the law will catch up to the people that had decided to do whatever they feel they should be able to do, especially these ppl......


The separate criminal investigation includes interrogations of al-Qaida lieutenant Abu Zubaydah and another top al-Qaida leader. Tapes of those interrogations were destroyed, in part, the Bush administration said, to protect the identities of the government questioners at a time the Justice Department was debating whether or not the tactics used during the interrogations were legal. Former CIA director Michael Hayden acknowledged that waterboarding — simulated drowning — was used on three suspects, including the two whose interrogations were recorded.
