IT IS THE RIGHT OF THE US CITIZENS KNOW, BUT COULD CAUSE ISSUES BOTH HERE AND ABROAD. =========================== The Republicans did not participate, while the Democrats worked to make a report of their investigation on the CIAs Bush-era interrogation program. Now the Issue is when to make the report public. See below the reasons. ----------------------------------------------- But with little more than 60 days until the midterm elections, a release of the report could leave Democrats vulnerable to attack from Republicans and other critics who say its details about U.S. intelligence gathering might jeopardize national security. Earlier this month, an internal U.S. intelligence memo warned that publication of the report could potentially result in violent street protests and threats to U.S. embassies and personnel overseas, according to Yahoo! News. We got a big fight going on in Iraq and Syria right now, Daniel Gallington, senior policy and program adviser at the George C. Marshall Institute told The Hill. Gallington previously served as bipartisan general counsel for the Senate Intelligence Committee. The timing of this thing will already serve to inflame all kinds of ignorant audiences throughout the world. Is the timing responsible? I think, no, its not, he said. Americans may also have even less appetite than usual right now for criticism of intelligence agencies that see themselves as fighting on the frontline against terrorists. ------------------------------------------ AN ISSUE THAT THE SENATORS WILL HAVE A HARD TIME DECIDING.
