His reasoning? "He said the abrupt reversal of his position came out of concern that the pictures would 'further inflame anti-American opinion' and endanger U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan."
Which, in a funny coincidence, is the precise reason why torture doesn't work and endangers us further rather than making us safer. |
Therefore the memo's originally released should have been left alone. What, did he really think the world would embrace him and think everything is splendid from here on out? It would seem that those that voiced an opinion over releasing these memo's would do more harm than good. Not only in the world view but within his own 'transparent' government. Furthermore, this opens the door to the world who are now suspect that other things went on. Welcome to the dirty laundry list.
