Today at CNN it is reported that because Obama released the memos describing interrogation techniques, a former CIA operative claims that the national security of America is in danger. This is important because as Michael Hayden says America has described to our enemies the techniques we use and now they are aware of it. Not only this but because of the techniques described can be taken as torture. This is big because America signed the Geneva Accords and if it is proven that we tortured prisoners then will America be shamed and punished? This effects the world because America is supposed to be the role model for foreign affairs and this only gives us a black eye. This may very well effect the end of the war, prisoner treatment and trials, and our moral standing with the rest of the world even though Obama has promised change. Will America ever be viewed the same again...who knows.
