The article had a quote in it about "Obama being painted into a corner".

I'd like to take this just a bit further.

Let's say that if Obama agrees and gives in to this, then what other secrets may be in there other than "if the govt's of USA and UK torture prisoners".

As was said above, Obama was privy to reports from the Bush admin as well as reports from his own people after he was sworn in.

Don't ya think that there might be something in those reports that neither gov't wants out? Such as info that if terrorists knew we had would jeopardize lives? Strategic military plans, methods of warfare, locations of high profile targets, sources of information?

Don't assume that just because he wants some war related info to be kept secret that it's automatically something bad or devious.

There's probably a lot more to this story than what Salon.com is trying to make it look like.

Welcome to the liberal media.
