Obama to CIA in April 2009: "so I need everybody to be clear: we will protect your identities and your security as you vigorously pursue your missions".
Now in August 2009, the Attorney General Eric Holder, who was appointed by and serves at the pleasure of Obama, decides to renege on his and Obama's previous decision to close the files on CIA operatives and others who were involved in enhanced interrogation of Islamic Terrorists. Obama tries to make this sound like an independent decision by Holder; this is a fake, Holder will do what Obama wants him to do.
At the same time, documents have been released that prove that the enhanced interrogation techniques, including water boarding, clearly obtained information on terrorist plans for future bombings and other activities, not just information on past actions as the far left would have us believe.
So, why is Obama and Holder doing this? The best guess is that there are two reasons: first to appease Obama's base, the left wing of the Democratic Party, and second, to divert some attention from Obama's slide in the public's confidence and popularity due to the huge deficit spending that keeps piling up and the revolt against ObamaCare with its single-payer public option.
Bush-Cheney bashing worked so well in the campaign, that Obama is trying to revive it when other things are not going so well.
Let's not forget that the Obama-Holder team that now wants to prosecute some in CIA are the ones who recently dropped all charges against members of the Black Panther Party for intimidating and threatening voters in Philadelphia this past November.
The Obama-Holder vindictive pursuit of CIA rather than of terrorists is making this country less safe to future attacks.
