Obama Admin Cherry Picked Intel To Validate the Left and Destroy their Opponents

There is no other way to describe, this morning I posted this about Obama and the memos:

Amidst all the bluster when Obama threw a bone to the left, former vice-president Cheney called Obama's bluff and asked for the release of more memos to show how much intel we received from terrorists who were water boarded. In short Obama cherry picked memos to show one side of the debate.

Over at HA they are calling it a cover up, which is accurate. It goes without saying that some information will not be released, we all understand that, but to deliberately leave out information because its not what your supporters want to here? This admin claims it wanted transparency and to move forward, the reverse happened. Now its clear they are using intelligence in a political manner for purely domestic gain. And its not just a minor partisan advantage, but to lay the ground work for the public humiliation and possible jailing of its ideological opponents. This is a disaster for this country, and by the way Clinton tried to get away with this but got nailed on it at the Congress today:

As Clinton made her first appearance before Congress as the nation's top diplomat, California Republican Dana Rohrbacher asked if the administration planned to heed Cheney's call to release documents showing information gained as a result of the Bush administration's aggressive interrogation techniques.

"Well, it won't surprise you that I don't consider him to be a particularly reliable source of information," Clinton said, to laughter from many in the committee room

Rohrbacher quickly hit back, saying, "Dick Cheney has asked for specific documents to be unclassified. We are not asking for your opinion of Dick Cheney. … If you want to maintain your credibility with us, what is your opinion on the release of those documents?"

Clinton ultimately did not answer the question, saying, "I believe we ought to get to the bottom of this entire matter. I think it's in the best interest of our country, and that is what the president believes, and that is why he has taken the actions he has."


Of course she didn't answer, instead she thought a snide remark and the laughter of a friendly audience would protect her, thankfully Dana Rohrbacher called her on it. Add this disgrace along with the DHS report and you end up with a troubling view of "Hope and Change" and no matter what Holder says, its certainly not about the law.
