Obama’s Own Intel Director: Bush Interrogation Techniques Yielded High-Value Intelligence
Which speaks volumes about where Obama’s priorities lay:
WASHINGTON (CNN) – In a previously undisclosed private memo, President Obama’s intelligence director told colleagues that enhanced interrogation techniques used by the Bush administration yielded important information that helped America deal with the threat of terrorism.
“High value information came from interrogations in which those methods were used and provided a deeper understanding of the al Qa’ida organization that was attacking this country,” the Director of National Intelligence, retired Admiral Dennis Blair, told colleagues in the two-page memo April 16.
So, basically, Obama threw interrogation tactics that actually worked to elicit important, actionable intelligence about terrorists and their plots out the window. Because Obama cares more about the politics of the situation than he does about keeping America safe.
Obama cares more about what the screeching ninnies at the UN think of our country - he cares more about what his far-left base might to do him in the next election if he doesn’t cater to them enough - than he does about preventing the next terrorist attack on an American target.
I don’t know about the rest of you, but that’s not change I can believe in.
