When do we start calling this a 'cover-up' by the Obama White House?

9. It isn't much of a cover up since the Senate knows the information.

It sounds like more a matter of arguing over clearance and release of information to the general public. Usually a cover up involves keeping information from the other check and balance parts of the government. And yes I can't imagine anyone that doesn't giggle at the very CIA that did a lot of the illegal stuff telling the senate what it can and can't release. It also looks stupid arguing with your own party on something you publicly say you don't support. Politically it isn't exactly wowing me as a great midterm election plan.

As people have notice Obama has never been interested in a war crimes trial in public. He got reelected having made that stance so I guess I shouldn't be surprised he is trying to push this reports release past the last midterm of his presidency. That said if the popularity on war crime trials swung... Obama might sing a different tune. He has slow played a lot of issues until the political winds blew in his favor. His private thoughts aren't easy to read into his public words and his public words tend to be guarded on many issues. This issue more than any other in my opinion. The question remains, we all know there were crimes committed, but damn it we still want to see this report. As it stands now Obama's main actions on this could basically be undone by the next president that thinks Torture is a good idea. This and the slow play of GITMO just make you wonder how long do you have to wait to do something on this issue? I mean releasing a report is the least the administration could do at this point in the presidency. Hey it might even remind your voting base why they want to get out and vote in November...
