Commentary: Obama wrong to release interrogation memos
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- I know that the story has moved on, that
the outline of the journalistic narrative has been set, and that the
"first draft" of history has been just about finalized. Before the ink
dries though, I would like to offer at least a footnote.
And
this footnote has to do with President Obama's decision in April to
release opinions drafted by the Department of Justice that detailed the
CIA's interrogation program for high-value al Qaeda detainees.
Specifically, it has to do with the argument made publicly and
privately by the administration that its hand was being forced by a
pending decision in a Freedom of Information Act case by the American
Civil Liberties Union before Judge Alvin Hellerstein in New York.
