11. This is the problem I have is the politicizing Obama is engaged in
Edited on Fri Apr-17-09 01:28 PM by WeDidIt
In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution. The men and women of our intelligence community serve courageously on the front lines of a dangerous world. Their accomplishments are unsung and their names unknown, but because of their sacrifices, every single American is safer. We must protect their identities as vigilantly as they protect our security, and we must provide them with the confidence that they can do their jobs.


This is engaging in politics. The president has ordered that criminals will not be prosecuted under the arguments of the very Nuremburg defense which was rejected by the entire world more than sixty years ago.

Obama has politicized this. Had he not ordered these men could not be prosecuted for their crimes, he would have been engaing in constitutional behaviour.

Prosecutions must proceed wherever the evidence takes them regardless of political considerations. Obama has put a halt to that precisely because of political considerations.

I have never been so disappointed in any human being in my life.
