Vice President CheneyCheney Calls for Release of Memos Showing Results of Interrogation Efforts -- FOX News
Former Vice President Cheney says he knows how successful the interrogation techniques were in collecting intelligence for the United States and wants that information to be released to the public as well as the legal memos explaining the decision to allow the heavily criticized methods.
Now that the memos showing the rulings of interrogation techniques have been released, the Obama administration should release additional documents that show what the interrogations yielded, former Vice President Dick Cheney told FOX News on Monday.
In an interview with FOX News' Sean Hannity to be aired on "Hannity" Monday night, Cheney questioned the point of releasing the legal decisions behind the interrogations but not the outcome of them.

My Comment: I agree with former Vice President Cheney. Since the cat is now out of the bag, release the rest of the memos.
But I will be surprised if President Obama's administration decides to release these documents. If the methods and tactics were successful .... which Vice President Cheney obviously believes they were .... any release of this information will then completely undercut President Obama's message on what the memos signify and represent.
Sigh .... this is what happens when you play politics with National Security .... you always get burned.
