Days after releasing top-secret memos detailing the CIA’s efforts to force terrorists to give up information about upcoming attacks on the U.S., Barack Obama went to the spy agency’s Virginia headquarters to explain his amateurish decision and to rebuild morale among the employees.
I’m surprised they let him in the door.
What Obama did was basically hand our enemies top secret information that they can now use against us in the war against terror. “I acted primarily because of the exceptional circumstances that surrounded these memos, particularly the fact that so much of the information was public,” Obama said.
Obama further insisted that he released the documents because an upcoming court case would have exposed them anyway and most of the details are already public. But Obama is twisting the truth to his advantage like he normally does. It is highly doubtful that the CIA would have allowed the contents of those documents to be released in any courtroom — and Obama knew that.
Republican lawmakers, former CIA chiefs and many in the intelligence community have roundly criticized Obama’s actions as detrimental to national security.
