Today's Washington Times ran an editorial today concerning the release of the CIA interrogation memo. The White House is claiming that releasing these memos in no way effected national security.
The article points out:
"The definition of 'top secret' is information which, if revealed, would cause grave harm to U.S. security," former CIA Director Michael V. Hayden said on "Fox News Sunday." "There's a difference of leaks, and rumors, and rumors of this and that, and going out there and defining in an absolutely clear way what the limits are."
We are still fighting the war that these memos involve. Senator Lindsey Graham, South Carolina Republican, pointed out today on Fox that he felt no desire to be transparent to Al Qaeda. The release of these memos is a political move carried out with no regard for the safety of our country or our military. We want our soldiers and military people to fight the war on terror--not have to consult the ACLU or a lawyer before they make a move. We saw what happens when politicians run a war with Vietnam, we do not need to make that same mistake again.
