5. So the old 'National Security' excuse AGAIN! 'The ME is a tinderbox right now'.

And THIS report could be the 'spark that ignites it'?? Is he kidding? While the American people had no knowledge of what is in that report, the people of the ME know all too well, many from first hand experience.

I have news for this 'intelligence official' desperately seeking a way to stop the release of this report: That tinderbox in the ME was lit the minute we invaded Iraq and killed and tortured so many, many innocent people.

The exact opposite is true. IF WE HAD HELD the War Criminals accountable, acknowledge the crimes and put the torturers where they belong, there might not BE a tinderbox in the ME.

If the release of the report on those war crimes results in justice for the victims in the form of arrests and prosecutions, that could act like a little rain on the fire currently burning over there.

They really do think we are stupid.
