It's the CIA, stupid

It's seems we are nursing another self-inflicting gunshot to the foot in the war on terror, courtesy of the ACLU. So the CIA has secrets...DUH??? Of course they have secrets!!! They're the CIA. Secrets is what they do. Where do we get off asking these people to risk their lives in hostile territory to gather vital information for us, and then undermine that work by demanding that they share everything they know with everyone else. As far as I'm concerned, they can destroy all the tapes they want. The more the merrier. I don't know how they do their job and frankly I don't want to know. The more I know, the less effective they will be. War is ugly and sometimes avoiding war is even uglier. But I can sleep soundly at night knowing that those who aim to harm this country are on the run, and the ones we've caught are "having a really bad day". But if the ACLU has their way, these thugs and murderers will have all the rights that we as American citizens do. And as for the Geneva Convention, these are not uniformed soldiers on the field of battle. These are cowards dressed as civilians using women and children as human shields in schools and churches. Whatever they get, they've got it coming. The first job of the president is to protect this country from all enemies, foreign and domestic. You wouldn't play a game with rules that only one side recognizes and you can't win a war that way either. It's time to take the political handcuffs off these leaders that we hold so accountable. Let them do their job.
