Common Sense is Missing

The recent release of the Senate report on Enhanced Interrogation Methods is a shameful act by those who do not understand the nature of our enemy in this war we are fighting.  By releasing the report they have put patriotic Americans who have served their country at risk by naming them and accusing them of torture without allowing them to defend themselves.  Most citizens with any common sense do not understand the reasoning behind releasing this report.  More importantly most citizens support our efforts to defeat our enemies by all legal means possible.   All veterans understand the need for good intelligence in the battle, and using enhanced means to break our enemies to get needed information must be done in the best interests of our country.  This is what can happen to a nation where we  have few veterans in our government and the understanding of warfare is sadly missing as evidenced by this report being made public.
