the stories about the portrait
now of rock obama said he was going to have transparency in the government
and that
uh... they would reveal what
happen in the government earlier than they were real what's happening within
their own administration
so that everybody suspected there they were and along with freedom of
information act requests of for some of the memos that were written to justified
detainee treatment under the bush administration
and he decided that they would be the and release some and then there's some
disease that they have not released yet but they said they were going to in the
beginning of april
and in fact eric holder the new attorney general made a decision he said we are
going to release these
memos that
uh... we already know through reports
uh... that we got from the red cross that they are
a really tough being involved the
head slap stay involved
very people in what was
essentially coffin
uh... slamming them against the walls
and waterboarding in the list goes on and off
these are very damaging of course the bush administration
not just politically answerable to the support of that
but uh... also
might be legally damage
these are acts of torture which are illegal
so but they're really sensitive about
transparency and this is the right thing to do in its legal thing to do
all but also make up a lot
now why did he get blocked
blocking it and forward based
what we now find out
there to personal reasons why they're being blocked
one is a guy uh... by the name of
resonance ac
he was at the c_i_a_ and uh... he was one of the people
that was the
under george tenet
and uh... the was being considered
four
that position of the head of the c_i_a_
by uh...
brothel bomber
who protested against them
the loyal opposition
uh... not the republicans
cuz of course they were in fact it love brenda like old reporter or use some how
complicit
greatly like acai appointment
no uh... progressives complain is that when i know this is a the kind of guy
you want him to see i have a week
voted for change
you know what happen we got on the back off of bread
which was turns out it's a great thing we did
because this guy race
holy hell within the c_i_a_ 'cause he's a latin ceo
some running committees there
saying cannot release these mammals
and holder awsome so why not what you legal grounds for not releasing them
or what's your policy dresser listen
he doesn't have to ask us as we don't do those tactics anymore
in the past these to say
all weekend reveal a tactics because that would show the annual rebelling
but now holder says
not doing those tactics of what possible difference could make
do you believe this he said
the reason we shouldn't released the documents this because it would quote
embarrassed and shame c_i_a_ officers
jacket would embarrass and shame them because they committed acts of torture
so what is your alternate to cover it up indefinitely
that's crazy
i can't believe that he's made that argument with a straight face
the lead on this and we might be legally liable
for all the time
units at the c_i_a_ offices they were following orders
and nobody administration has made clear over and over again they're not going to
go after
but officers
who follow the orders of their leaders cavaliers are different
uh... question and the republics of sent throughout although no
you can't go after losses now thought leaders will see about later of course
had no intention of going out the leaders
and lo and behold there the second group of people
trying to block these memos life now the republican senators are apparently
absolutely often or saying
circumstances shinu release
these torture memos
now why do they care so much i thought they were in favor
i think they were open and honest about it and the date
fought all the exact founded on twenty four so slight
so why don't you come and make that case the american people now
although you are highly because you are embarrassed
before click you off the rocks
well you authorize
is a legal definition of torture
and as i just legal definition it did
and that's why we have so many false confessions
out of people like albums of i don't base
uh... and and all libya we chase all of these different
falsely sekhar says millions of dollars
and let us too
gulati
uh... was used a beta racket which is a nonsense for so uh... one of the how are
they threatening opa midwife didn't even less for some time
well they're saying we're gonna stop blocking all of your judicial nominees
especially cold we talked about
uh... on it that preview show
and not just for this one is that also stated part number is a server
uh... if you really see starter
i think that it makes perfect sense for obama to say
from the pop up
okay you are blocked my nominees because you want to see hiding torture that you
guys authorize
have added costs see how it works out for you
there is no need if he's interested but they have an additional threat by the
way
if you do this we will no longer work with you on anything
we no longer
so far every single bell
has said this girl republican votes
i'm sorry the stimulus bill got three centers
spot although the referee republican votes
and the reason bill
we are many senators and congressmen got republicans
the budget about zero dot
move you won't work with us any longer
welfare robert ever watch out for that
if you make this a big pot with flight
you'll be on the side of defending torture will be on the side of
of being cancelled www does scare me
these threats are so empty
ever i'd sit and that you know why brocco obama
would be listened any of it
adecco came uh... brennan that's an interesting case about how you'd be
embarrassed
we showed the torture that you guys committed
and republicans you say that you don't wanna defended an open public and you'd
be working a stick
why i considered now you're done were releasing the mountains
but what i'm concerned about it
they kill a ceo brocco which is he is and accommodations
that look in some ways it can be good get incremental change
you know any
makes the country comfortable with a decision and with the direction that
they're going in before you
go ahead long in that direction
but in other ways it's a deficit it's it's a problem
when he comedies the bankers he shouldn't accommodate
and it's a problem when he's account accommodating
uh... the crazy right wing here
on these torture memos when he shouldn't
now look it's just static
uh... week or so that they have
held us up
and so there is not the resolution on it yet
and heap
mike release them and i hope he does lee sent
and it would be wildly ever took hypocritical and stupid
to cover that as to the bush administration
and the republicans
and keeping secret and hidden
when you said you would
and you know even going to help yourself you're doing to help
the republicans
and for bush officials
that's crazy it's bad politics it's bad policy so i hope he doesn't do it
but i'm a little friend was no bomb the sometimes it was a plane nice guy
so this is all ok ok going to get a law i hope he doesn't do it in this case
is in my mind and in the minds of
that you know everybody
who's writing about this issue its
unconscionable we need to see what they authorized
and if it's only the problem for them
well that for the warmer bush administration officials
incentive for them they should not rides were from the first place
