TOUGH DECISION

Despite the worries of a lot of lefties, the Obamas are going to release the relevant Bush administration memos about torture.

They will stick with the lawyers and not the spooks for, I think, very good reasons.

In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution. The men and women of our intelligence community serve courageously on the front lines of a dangerous world. Their accomplishments are unsung and their names unknown, but because of their sacrifices, every single American is safer. We must protect their identities as vigilantly as they protect our security, and we must provide them with the confidence that they can do their jobs.

Amen.
