Former CIA officer Robert Baer approves of President Obama’s release of the CIA memos justifying harsh interrogation methods approved by the Bush administration, noting that there is no way that the description of practices that are already well-known can possibly compromise national security.

However, Baer — who has also argued recently that the CIA needs to get out of the coercion business and back to “classical espionage” — believes that “Obama should not stop there” and that a blue-ribbon presidential commission is needed to further investigate the entire issue of abusive interrogations.
