So what hasn’t barry gone back on? Iraq – yes. A fairy tale since that politically expedient speech in 2002. Mr Bill was 100% correct and yet he was crucified by the barry media, who the ignorant cultfollowers believed without bothering to check. They based their vote on complete fiction and proudly proclaimed that was why they were voting for barry. And now they are buying the lie of “transparency” which he has been anything but,
Anyway, CIA interrogations should be released – not. Torture photos should be released – not. Military commissions should be stopped – not. Gitmo should be closed – too early to tell but the fine print gives him an out – an out he will most assuredly will take. And let’s watch what he does with the detainees found to be not guilty – that Gibbs refuses to answer because it is “hypothetical”.
Q A quick follow on something else, the CIA interrogation tapes. Why is the administration trying to block the release of the Bush-era documents on the CIA interrogation tapes, when previously you released Bush-era memos and said you didn’t really have a national security concern about it because these methods were already out there, the media had reported on it?
MR. GIBBS: Well, but understand — I think if you look at particularly at some of the memos that were released, you see that there was some redaction taken to ensure highly sensitive information. Obviously a great amount of the information contained in those memos were known by your network and others, and have been for quite some time. They’ve been in the media, they’ve been in books; the people in the previous administration have written communications back and forth involved in some of these cables. You can’t redact that information. That’s what it is.
The President believes, the administration believes that that material is highly sensitive.
[Now - when they are aware of the ramifications and not what the poss and people want to hear.]
Q But the CIA is saying that this could be a recruiting tool for al Qaeda. Haven’t you said previously the President has been removing recruiting tools by ending torture to begin with?
MR. GIBBS: Yes, and that was one of the reasons that the larger framework of those memos — again, those tactics were — I’ve used this example with you before — the graphic that you all had about waterboarding wasn’t a graphic that was created after the release and the reading of these memos. It’s been something that’s been discussed, my guess is, for many, many hours on your network.
And that was it.
