Zeev's Turnips Talk Politics (ZTTP)

Not unexpected. Still very disappointing. This is no change from
Obama which many of us on all sides had always felt would occur.

To threaten a foreign government with anything as:

"if you let your courts describe how we tortured Mohamed -- even if your laws compel such disclosure --
we may purposely leave your citizens vulnerable to future terrorist attacks by withholding information
we obtain about terrorist plots. Smith re-iterated to Lake what he told me last month: that the Obama
administration's actions in issuing these threats in order to hide evidence of torture is itself a criminal act...."

should be despicable behavior in everyone's eyes.

Yeah, i know it's business as usual. Sad but true. It must it feels cast a further shadow on the disclosure
that Obama has ordered in the US. Bad no change policy so crucially close to the heart of the torture issue.

Thanks, it is important.
