No, I don't think there's any direct security threat here. I do, however, believe it's a bad move to show your enemies your thought processes. I thought Obama was for transparency in his own administration. So far, all we've seen his him revealing stuff from Bush's administration. The man has time to read these memos, but didn't take time to read the porkulus bill.
The Justice Department on Monday released a long-secret legal document from 2001 in which the Bush administration claimed the military could search and seize terror suspects in the United States without warrants.And the problem is? The point is?
The legal memo was written about a month after the Sept. 11 terror attacks. It says constitutional protections against unlawful search and seizure would not apply to terror suspects in the U.S., as long as the president or another high official authorized the action.
Even after the Bush administration rescinded that legal analysis, the Justice Department refused to release its contents, prompting a standoff with congressional Democrats.
The memo was one of nine released Monday by the Obama administration.
