Former CIA director decries memo release

WASHINGTON – Former CIA Director Michael Hayden says the Obama administration is endangering the country by releasing Justice Department memos that detail the CIA's interrogation techniques authorized by the Bush administration.

Hayden tells The Associated Press the release will give terrorists a precise guide for what to expect in a CIA interrogation if those methods are ever approved for use again.

The Obama administration outlawed the techniques but has a task force reviewing the military's interrogation methods to determine if they are sufficient for CIA use.

Hayden says he worries the revelations will also deter other governments from cooperating with the United States because it shows the U.S. "can't keep anything secret."


"can't keep anything secret"? These are war crimes you asshole!

Good grief.

13. Hayden told everyone that "probable cause" is not in the 4th amendment

Also added, "if there's any amendment that the NSA knows, it's the 4th." :scared:

I was watching live when he showed what an idiot he is. My tv barely survived. Lock him up.

11. You can be sure the former CIA Director is not dismissing his lawyers any time soon....
and the same goes for those who were NOT listed among those who will not be prosecuted, ie the ones responsible for authorizing the torture in the memos.

Obama needs to watch his back around these CIA guys. They can't be trusted.
