Former CIA Director Hayden Slams Obama for Releasing CIA Interrogation Memos - Video 4/19/09
Here is video of former CIA Director Michael Hayden yesterday on Fox News Sunday being very critical of President Obama for releasing CIA Memos that detail the "outer limits" of what the CIA will do in terms of interrogating prisoners.
Hayden argues that is very dangerous, making it far more difficult for CIA Officers to defend the nation. He also believes Obama's decision has demoralized CIA employees, making them far less aggressive since they do not know whether or not their actions will be fodder as a political football in the future. It has left the Agency feeling that what they do is not protected from administration to administration but is rather at the mercy of the "ACLU" and the "New York Times Editorial Board."
Hayden says bluntly that the interrogation techniques Obama has abandoned DID WORK. He flatly says the argument by Obama and others that the "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" don't work is false - not accurate. Hayden says one can take the honorable position that "America should not use these techniques EVEN THOUGH THEY WORK, but cannot argue that they don't work."
