Senate GOP to Obama: ‘End the DOJ’s Unwarranted Investigations of CIA Interrogators’
Senate Republicans pen a letter to the president:
We call on you to finally end the DOJ’s unwarranted investigations of CIA interrogators, whose work led to one of the most defining moments of the Global War on Terror. These Americans did their jobs at the direction of the President of the United States. Punishing them for their actions, which likely saved lives by helping avert other terrorist attacks, will continue to have a chilling effect on the critical work of their colleagues and other national security professionals in the U.S. government. Our nation cannot afford these politically motivated investigations to continue.
The signature list: Cornyn, Blunt, Sessions, Chambliss, Burr, Boozman, Graham, Barrasso, Enzi, Hoeven, Risch, Inhofe, McConnell, Portman, Moran, Heller, Alexander, R. Johnson, Hutchison, Kirk, Coats, Thune, Johanns, Wicker, Crapo, Ayotte, Hatch, Vitter, Grassley, Rubio, Lee, Isakson, Roberts, and Corker.
Thank you, ma’am!
I find it highly distasteful that even as Obama continues to play up "his achievement" as he campaigns for 2012 all over the country, his handpicked Attorney General Eric Holder refuses to drop the investigations on those that actually gave Obama the reason to whistle.
I can’t think of a President of less graciousness during my lifetime, unless I go way back to Tricky Dick Nixon. Even at that, it seems that Obama really wants to be #1.
I guess once a community organizer, that always has to be dumping on somebody, always a community organizer.
