Today's Alinsky Update: OBananas

clipped from hotair.com Obama’s advisers are further convinced that letting the public know exactly what the past administration sanctioned will undermine what they see as former vice president Richard B. Cheney’s effort to “box Obama in” by claiming that the executive order heightened the risk of a terrorist attack. Rather than doing that, though, it prompted members of his own administration to publicly corroborate Cheney.  The White House tried to suppress the key part of Dennis Blair’s memo that acknowledged the success of the interrogations in thwarting at least one major terrorist attack against the US, the “Second Wave” airliner attacks after 9/11 aimed at Los Angeles.  The CIA separately insisted that its actions protected America from attack.  Cheney himself went back on the attack, describing some of the memos that Obama didn’t declassify, and launched a high-profile campaign to get them released. On Capitol Hill, Obama’s strategy also backfired.  Republicans balked at the limited disclosure.
