SSSHHHHH


There is a bible verse that reads:
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:
A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;
A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A time to get, and a time to lose; a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
A time to rend, and a time to sew; a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.

Notice how it says a time for silence?

As I have stated in previous posts I agree with quite a bit of what President Obama has done and applaud a more open door policy on what our government is doing to whom, but the release of how we interrogate terrorist suspects should have remained classified.

These are people that would gladly walk into a public building and blow up themselves and everyone else around them. I have no sympathy for these people. We haven’t had an attack on our shores since 9/11 and I’m sure the info we gained from these interrogations were a huge part of it.

Call me cruel but I’d rather see someone water boarded than have that same person or someone he knows walk into a building that my five year old daughter happens to be in and blow it up.
The world has changed. Our enemies and their tactics have changed and we need to change along with them so you can sit in McDonald’s in New York City, dance in a night club in Los Angeles, or take an Amtrak train to Chicago and not worry about being blown to bits.

The fact remains while we should aspire to as much transparency as possible there are things that have to remain secret in the interest of national security.
