From the King James Bible, Romans 2:19

Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, "Vengeance is mine; I will repay," saith the Lord.

President Barack Obama is proving to be small, vengeful, and partisan when it comes to what used to be called the War on Terror.

Here's a timeline on the CIA Memo business.

On May 31, former Vice President Dick Cheney was interviewed by CNN's John King about the Obama Administrations policies toward the War on Terror Overseas Contingency Operations.

CNN quoted Cheney as saying President Obama "is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack."

In obvious retribution for Cheney's remarks, last week Obama released four memos which the New York Times characterized as "describing brutal interrogation techniques used by the Central Intelligence Agency," in attempting to gain information from captured terrorist following 9/11.

According to reporters Emily Pierce and Keith Koffler writing in Roll Call newspaper:

Appearing Sunday on ABC's "This Week," White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel said Obama believes that "those who devised policy ... should not be prosecuted, either, and that's not the place that we go." He quoted Obama as writing, "This is not a time for retribution."

Again, according to Roll Call:

Emanuel's statement was not an isolated slip of the tongue. On Monday, White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs reaffirmed it.

Gibbs was asked during Monday's daily briefing why "the Bush administration lawyers" are "not being held accountable."

He replied, "The president is focused on looking forward, that's why."

To calm the waters at CIA, Obama trekked out to Langley for a visit which Reuters said "represented a swift bid by Obama to shore up CIA morale after he released last week classified Bush-era legal memos detailing the interrogation program." Continued...
