Because no matter how Holder and by proxy Obama try to justify this dangerous move as necessary this is about revenge pure and simple. The Left wants Republican blood and won’t be satisfied until they take a good long drink. And while the first grave will be for CIA operatives and former Bush officials, the second grave will be for the Obama agenda and possibly his Presidency.

There will be casualties on both sides and to what end? Is this the future of American politics and government where we use the power of the government to exact revenge on our political opponents? This is beyond the usual Washington partisan politics as our political class is in danger of splitting the nation like never before.
But this should not really shock anyone as the entire premise of the Obama Administration is based on blaming Bush for the problems they “inherited”.
And we all know what the next steps will be. Senator Patrick “Leaky” Leahy will leak every bit of information he receives because he wants a much bigger investigation. And he knows if he “selectively” leaks the mainstream media will be “horrified” and begin calling for a wider probe. And look for Leahy and Co. to press for the release of the torture photos now pending before a Federal Court. When that happens this will quickly spiral out of control and the pressing business of the economy and our many international problems will take a back seat at a critical time in our history.
We have soldiers in the field some on the front lines in Afghanistan and Iraq and others, like the CIA who work the world’s shadowy back alleys inhabited by the terrorists. Both deserve our gratitude and support. This move increases the danger to them and by extension the danger to us all.
As the old cowboy saying goes”Lettin’ the cat out of the bag is a helluva lot easier than puttin’ it back”.
Well Mr. President, your weak acquiescence to this decision has not just let a simple housecat out of the bag. You have allowed the release of a wildcat. Good luck tryin’ to put him back.
