The latest Rasmussen Reports poll indicates that 58% of Americans believe the Obama administration's release of CIA memos endangers the national security of the United States. Perhaps this explains the recent reversal by President Obama on pursuing a Truth Commission.
Fifty-eight percent (58%) believe the Obama administration’s recent release of CIA memos about the harsh interrogation methods used on terrorism suspects endangers the national security of the United States. The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 28% believe the release of the memos helps America’s image abroad.
Sizable majorities of Republicans and unaffiliated voters say the
release of the CIA memos about the interrogations hurts national
security. Democrats are evenly divided on whether the release hurt
national security or helped the image of the United States abroad.
To appease a minority, Obama has opened a Pandora's Box that will haunt his administration and the country.
This will not end here. With the impending release of more memos and photos, how will this course of action benefit America and/or its allies.
