Hypocrisy

In NYT's informative and interesting editorial, secrecy from the CIA is revealed. Under the Bush administration heinous acts were committed against some innocent people and wanted criminals. The Bush administration has already played an underhanded move with the NSA and to have this topic revealed to the public- harms the Republican party reputation. Not only does it harm the party, it destroys another amendment we believe in as set by the bill of rights. Now the public is REALLY questioning the truthfulness of our country. I will say that Bush had a lot to handle, and a lot to take in after 9/11, yet I do not believe it should have gone as far as to ignore amendments and harm people. What really frustrates me is the idea of Bush being a figure head and not realizing what he signed on in regards to the NSA and the torture of many people. According to the article, the CIA and the republican party tried severely hard to not get this information out to the public. The information recovered form the Obama administration is still being investigated, but as of now things do not look good for the republicans, and their chances for the presidency in 2016.
