CIA says President Obama is a Terrorist?

At the Central Intelligence Agency, it's known as "slow rolling." That's what agency officers sometimes do on politically sensitive assignments. They go through the motions; they pass cables back and forth; they take other jobs out of the danger zone; they cover their backsides.
Sad to say, it's slow roll time at Langley after the release of interrogation memos that, in the words of one veteran officer, "hit the agency like a car bomb in the driveway." President Obama promised CIA officers that they won't be prosecuted for carrying out lawful orders, but the people on the firing line don't believe him. They think the memos have opened a new season of investigation and retribution.
The lesson for younger officers is obvious: Keep your head down. Duck the assignments that carry political risk. Stay away from a counterterrorism program that has become a career hazard.

OPINION:
I think Mr. President is getting into some pretty treacherous waters with this one. Though all of his ideology directs him to make this move (also perhaps his quest to be bff with Nicolas Sarchozy and Fidel Castro at the same time) I’m not sure this is in the best interest of the American people. What many may not know, is that the CIA recently released reports citing proof that enhanced interrogation saved thousands of lives in LA shortly after 9/11. Ironic considering those lives saved (specifically our Hollywood royalty) are the same ingrates that so vehemently oppose such methods.
Now we’re stuck with a highly skilled worldwide counter terrorism force that is now hesitant to even yell at man who just behead a civilian and set a bomb off in the middle of a crowded street full of women and children. AND the terrorists know this now. They KNOW that they’re only going to get 4 star service if they get captured. We already know they’re not afraid of getting killed for their cause, but now they don’t even have to fear the risk of discomfort. (I had worse treatment from my brothers at the local swimming pool… Waterboarding’s a joke anyway) At least under Cheney, they thought there was a chance worse things might happen to them.
