    A little more on Obama's visit to the CIA,

    which Retired Military Patriot posted about above:

    April 20 (Bloomberg) -- President Barack Obama defended his decision to release memos detailing harsh interrogation techniques used by the CIA and told agency employees that they will have his full support.

    “I know that the last few days have been difficult,” Obama told about 1,000 employees of the Central Intelligence Agency in Langley, Virginia. “Don’t be discouraged’ that we have to acknowledge potentially we’ve made some mistakes.”

    He promised he would fight to protect the integrity of classified information. In an indirect jab at the Bush administration, Obama vowed his administration “will protect your identities and your security as you vigorously pursue your missions.”

    The article goes on to reference Valerie Plame.
