Is it a coincidence that Joe Lieberman of Connecticut opens fire on the Torture Memos imbroglio at the same time as Dick Cheney? No. Both unchained pols were given a free shot by the POTUS trip to the CIA yesterday in order to explain, explain, explain the release of the memos. The Obama administration has created a problem where a problem didn't exist. POTUS was not elected to clean up or otherwise rehash the Bush administration. POTUS was elected to clean up and rehash his own administration. Why did the Obama administration pick this fight? Naive? Nah. The Left? Nah. Aggression? Yes. This can only be part of the overall theme to seek peace with the Ummah. The memos are not about torturing criminals. They are about torturing jihadists. Now the Obama administration has a fight with the political apparatus that remains at war with the jihadists. Who will win? The Obama team. For now. CIA author Bob Baer on TV via Skye (left) added a caveat. "...if we're attacked again, this president is going to be faced with the same decision, do we use abusive interrogation techniques?..."
