Seriously is this the right time? There is so much negativity already brewing towards the U.S. right now. Is it worth it at this time to put our nation at risk?
This seems to be more of a political move than an effort to build upon the moral reputation of our nation. It seems that our current president has made it his mission to make America baselined with other countries. People often speak of our nation's strength in past tense. Our nation is still great, and that declaration is not boastful arrogance it is a fact.
The release of this report is appauling. It should've been brought out differently. People argue about the CIA hiding of this truth, and justify it being brought to light, and how someone needs to be held responsible. What about Benghazi, this is even more recent. We don't even hear about it anymore. That event was devastating to our natition. No one has been held responsible. I don't think that they have thought this through. This is another prime example of the current Administration's spur of the moment decision making.
Several Senator leaders have announced their fears and concerns regarding implications that could arise due to the release of this report. According to a report from the Washington Post Secretary of State John Kerry called the Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Diane Feinstein to discuss the potential fall out fem the release of the report, and urged her to consider the implications overseas in light f ongoing military operations by the U.S. and partner militaries agains the Islamic State militant group as well as the continued American hostages.
In response to the release the U.S. military put thousands of troops on alert status. Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R. Ga.) Vice Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee called the release of the CIA torture report a mistake that could put U.S. national security in jeopardy.
"There are some indications that the release report could lead to a greater risk that is posed to U.S. facilities... So the administration has taken prudent steps to ensure that proper security precautions are in place at U.S. facilities around the globe", White House Press Secretary.
I sincerely hope so.
