Porter Goss, former CIA Director and past chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, blasted the Obama administration for releasing Justice Department memos on harsh interrogation techniques. “For the first time in my experience we’ve crossed the red line of properly protecting our national security in order to gain partisan political advantage,” Goss said in an interview.

There will be worse done than that over the next four years....and it’ll be up to the NEXT GOP President to clean up the mess this dangerous poser is leaving behind him on a DAILY basis.

America cleaned up after Carter & Clinton and we certainly reaped what THEY sewed. :(

We’re so screwed.

Not the first time, won't be the last. MaoBama knows he's naive and doesn't care.

GOP, WHERE ARE YOU? THE SILENCE IS DEAFENING.

For some, that's not a tradeoff... It's killing two birds with one stone.

Job well done, Comrade Obama. Take the rest of the day off, why don't ya.

But what will he gain? Spending more than we can possibly pay back, betraying every agency tasked with protecting him, assuring our enemies we’re wimps, selling out allies, throwing everyone close to him under the bus - what on earth can he possibly expect to gain from his chosen path?

Probably not the first time a hack like Rockefeller or Leahy leaked security information for his own partisan reasons...by a long shot... but maybe the first time by an american president, going against the advice of everyone except...??????

and in his first 100 days of office

(who in his closet cabinet did urge him to do this??)

There’s an election in ‘10. If the GOP regains control of the Congress the Marxists can be stopped. If not...encourage your children to learn Chinese.

The Rats are working every possible angle to insure that there never again is a GOP or Conservative President or Congress. The MSM is a partner. The Ministry of Information. Acorn, Census, Amnesity, control of banks, taxes,Supremes etc etc.
They are very close to achieving their aims. We need some conservative leadership..and it ain’t out there.
I wish they would haul Cheney before congress..let him take a piece of them publicly. But, they won’t give him the platform. They will let this all swing in the wind as long as they can. They will encourage the Europeans to do some kind of prosecution..and further embarass us.
This Zero is Evil.

Porter Goss is a serious man, and a patriot. His is an hones appraisal, and it should scare all Americans.

I think many higher-ups will be joining the ‘release the birth certificate’ chorus.
