Hayden Slams the President on National Security

More blowback on Obama's decision to release the secret memos.

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A former head of the CIA slammed President Obama on Sunday for releasing four Bush-era memos, saying the new president has compromised national security

Michael Hayden, who served as former President Bush's last CIA director from 2006 to 2009, said releasing the memos outlining terror interrogation methods emboldened terrorist groups such as al Qaeda.

"What we have described for our enemies in the midst of a war are the outer limits that any American would ever go to in terms of interrogating an al Qaeda terrorist. That's very valuable information," Hayden said during an appearance on "Fox News Sunday."

"By taking [certain] techniques off the table, we have made it more difficult -- in a whole host of circumstances I can imagine -- for CIA officers to defend the nation," he said.

Here is a link to the released memos, so the left has something they read tonight. So far the worst things found in their are the ability to slam people against a wall and waterboarding, hardly the nightmare scenario the left believes it to be. IN addition it appears insects could be used to scare people. Basically put Al Qaeda in a box then the bugs would creep them out, this would place the actions at gitmo on the level of a reality TV show such as fear factor.
