Seven former CIA directors have asked President Obama to use his authority to reverse Attorney General Eric Holder's decision to re-open the criminal investigation into the CIA's post 9/11 interrogations of suspected terrorists.
Over-ruling an attorney general on a criminal investigation would be an extraordinary move, but the former directors contend Holder's investigation will ultimately "help Al Qaeda elude U.S. intelligence and plan future operations."
The letter sent to the president on Friday was signed by CIA directors who served under Carter, Reagan, Bush 41, Clinton and Bush 43.
The letter warns that the investigation will hinder the CIA's counter-terrorism efforts by discouraging risk-taking by agents now in the field, publicly revealing more information about the CIA's operations, and hindering relations with foreign intelligence agencies.
The former directors contend that Holder's investigation could "help Al Qaeda."
Thanks both of you, there's some great material here
AntwortenLöschenTracie - sorry I'm not more active on Political Soul, but I don't really have a lot to say on that tip lately. I have it in my favourites, often see many posts there when browsing via my phone while working... and it's predominantly US politics, much of that African-American, many Obama related articles. There's a big 'market' for that, but I don't see myself as in it. Thanks for posting this here - ideal for here. As and when I pick up something ideal for your place, I will return fire :)
Thanks. I do want PS to include more wide-ranging topics, not just those about Obama, American politics or race. So please, if and when you have time, post away.
