Alterior Motives

Hello, back on the release of these justice department memos, the current administration did release these memos... why?? For what reason? I believe they were released to test public opinion, they were released to see how far these ultra-liberals will go to continue to punish the Bush administration for whatever wrongs they had supposedly done. For me, all the Bush administration did was to take the correct steps to keep our country safe, not just Republicans, but everybody, and they did it in the spirit of the uncertain times that followed 9/11. What people need to do is to remember 9/11, not just what a horrific attack that befell our great nation, and the loss of so many lives; but the feelings of fear, uncertainty, and what next? that all Americans felt. It's the what next? that the Bush administration took care of for us, I do not think the extreme interrogation (read: torture) methods were too harsh at all. We have been safe since 9/11, a safety we would not have enjoyed if the interrogators had asked these terrorists "nicely" about their ties to the murderers of 9/11. Let's punish those that have wronged, not those who protect.
The current administration has alot on their plate as it is, I fear that a witch hunt that is 100% partisan would hurt our country and divide the nation at a time when we really need to unite.
