Open Letter

Dear President Obama,

Just when I thought you could not screw things up any more... you go ahead and release what I would consider to be sensitive and classified information. In all seriousness, I am curious as to what led you to make this ill-fated decision. Please, enlighten me. I know you are not particularly fond of waterboarding, not many are. (although it would make one heck of a parenting strategy for spicy and rebellious teens) But, why would you let despots in on the little secret of what sort of "torture" they can surely expect not to endure. Perhaps it has escaped your consciousness that these individuals that have/will undergo such methods of information gathering are the same sort that fly commercial airlines into skyscrapers or chop off people's heads? It has not escaped mine. I say that in such instances, a little simulated drowning to thwart future terrorist attacks is more than appropriate. In fact, it is necessary.

By releasing such sensitive material, you accomplish little. However, you do accomplish the following: Let the terrorists (because, frankly, that is what they are) and pathetic nations such as France peek in the windows of the United States intelligence operations. Way to go, sir. I disagree with your fondness to do America's laundry in public. It is simply bad form, and will not bring any sort of goodwill to we the people.

Please stop pandering to the far left fringe. Pelosi and Company are not exactly on the same page as the rest of the populous. They cried out for the release of the CIA's report. And lucky for them, you once again delivered. Perhaps, instead of looking out for your left-wingers, you should do your job and look out for the nation in which you lead. Just a suggestion. I am secure in my beliefs that you will not take heart to my suggestion... but I leave it out there for you just the same.

You have disappointed me more today than ever before. Really, do you think it is Germany's business to know that in order to protect the US, the CIA capitalized on one's fear of bugs and spiders and extracted valuable information. I think not. Then again, I am not surprised that you and I are again at polar opposite positions. Mr. President, I challenge you to do your job. Uphold the laws of the land, follow the constitution, protect those who make a living protecting the public, have pride in your country, and use your power to limit the influence of the government. That would be the most powerful statement you could make.
Sincerely,
Future House Queen

PS... I don't know if you have heard Dennis Miller's joke regarding the Somali pirates. It is quite funny. Somali want a cracker? Its a good one, isn't it. I thought you may enjoy it.
