Investigate, Investigate the CIA

The New York Times: Reports on the calls on President Obama to investigate the torture practices of the Bush Administration. The President has already dropped a clanger by releasing the torture memos, he should make sure that there is no investigation, and this will surprise the reader, the reason is political, these investigations take time, a Senate Investigation will take eight months, what happens if there is a terrorist attack on the United States in that time, one can see the news now, Bush Officials dragged in to baying Liberal Congress and a Weapon of Mass Destruction has gone off in a American city. If your a Democratic operator you should be asking yourself, how its going to look to the voter, thousand or hundred thousands killed and your punishing those that protected the USA. On the hand the Lawyers charged will ask for the release of the memos that showed what the CIA go from the torture, if there is valuable information and Obama has stated he will not torture it will look like he is putting his conscience first at the expense of the security of the American people. If either of these two outcomes happens the simple result is that Obama is a one term President and the Republicans are in charge for the next twelve years. Also this makes Obama look weak, with Iran a looming threat and the growing war in Afghanistan and the fall of Pakistan on the cards can the President afford to look weak. The Liberal New York Times will make Obama the next Jimmy Carter.
