Obama's New Probe on CIA Interrogations; Once Again, Obama Hides Behind Bush

Excellent observation...and quite plausible. When Carville is poking at you...and you are a Liberal..that is not a good day. I also wrote a little "diddy" on the Holder decision (sanctioned by the WH, no doubt)

I don't know if there is truly 'unofficial' and/or ulterior communication going on between Obama and Holder regarding CIA interrogation methods or not, it is impossible to know. Whether the appointment of a Federal prosecutor by Holder for the purpose of investigating tactics used under President Bush's watch is meant as a distraction from health care reform failure is and always will be a question in my mind. However, aside from the things I don't know, I'm confident the investigation by Holder into interrogation technigues is a mistake. First of all, how much money will it cost? Secondly, what do we hope to discover--that al Qaeda is innocent of the massacre of nearly 3,000 people or maybe it will be revealed that a CIA contract interrogator used threats against terrorist's families to get them to talk. We might discover that a terrorist was water boarded many times and we might find out President Bush signed a document authorizing extreme interrogation measures. The question about the interrogation methods moral and ethical efficacy might even expose the ugliness of war.
After the investigation someone or some agency or some group will bear the blame. The Attorney General can't be perceived wasting time and money with, in the end, nothing to show for it. The whole process will take years, people--who worked hard to keep us safe during those years after 9/11--will be drug through the mud and reputations will be permenantly damaged.
In the end--five or ten years from now--will we be better off because there is a ten or twenty million dollar report filed away some where or better off because those extreme measures got results and quite likely prevented another similar 9/11 attack on U.S. Soil?
