Any day now President Barack Obama will be releasing a formal report on the ‘Bush-era’ C.I.A. torture memo. But already ‘push back’ looms long and large from within and out of the Intelligence Community. They do not want President Obama to release a report that just may paint them and in fact certain members of the Bush Administration in an unfavorable light.
And they have done and will continue to do all they can to keep the president from releasing that report in full, unmolested and unrequited. Such is disturbing. Makes one wonder or at least stop for a minute and ask yourself, “What are they hiding?” “Why the secrecy?”
Believe it or not a great opportunity has been presented to this president, laid really, on his door step. The chance to tell-all, come clean or at least wipe the slate clean for, and of all people, the Intelligence Community itself.
You see the Intel community ,since Harry Truman was President, has always wanted to be the hero, the savior of the free world. To be painted in a positive a light as possible. Someone or at the very least some thing that never ever does a darn thing wrong. Bottom line.
Try as they may, try as a setting President might though, the Intelligence Community, the C.I.A., period, is anything but a hero to all and most certainly not a true friend to the law.
Besides if they were such the heroes as they wish to be portrayed it would be proven out both time and memorial ,in the body of their work. You would find no holes in the spying process. No need for secrecy. No need for subterfuge. Just plain, good ole fashioned excellent police work all the way around. Above board, and most certainly above reproach. There would never ever be the need for such a report to be released by the White House, by the Office of the President. No need for a near raping of Congressional staffers by C.I.A. people just because they turned a computer on.
And so it goes….
To that end I would like to invite and encourage you all to encourage the President to release this report unredacted. No freckles. No frills. No fringes. Just the plain truth of the matter. If it hurts the Bush Administration it hurts them. If it hurts the Intelligence Community it hurts it. Consequences. Repercussions. The like. Be damned.
You can leave your comments for the President here. And in so doing tell him, per the Subject Selection of Civil Rights, to release the C.I.A. report completely unredacted.
If you don’t wish to write him on-line he does have a snail mail address which can be found here. Or call and leave a voice mail message.
This is too important. To critical an issue to just let go to the way side. Just let it slide by. Additionally pressure needs to be brought to bear with the United States Senate’s Select Committee on Intelligence. This Committee, Chaired by United States Senator Dianne G.B. Feinstein, Democrat-California needs to hear from US as well. They need to be encouraged, greatly, to encourage President Obama to release that report. To get some backbone on behalf of the American people. To respect the right of privacy.
And so it goes….
The Intelligence Community has gotten away with murder for to long now! The president, as I said, has been handed a real opportunity. Laid firmly and squarely at his feet by a corrupt and inept police state that is hell-bent on destroying the last vestiges of a true and decent society.
Unless and until our government miners stand up to them, especially when and where we ourselves cannot this egregious activity will persist. Bottom line.
Call the President. Call the U.S. Capitol. Speak to your Congressional Representative and speak to the staff for the Senate Intelligence Committee and tell them to RELEASE THAT REPORT UNREDACTED. Thank you.
Peace.
