Former CIA chiefs Michael Hayden, Porter Goss, George Tenet and John Deutch appealed to the White House in March, not to release interrogation memos because it would compromise intelligence operations. The administration released the memos on Thursday and absolved the CIA officials from prosecution. Austrian Manfred Nowak, a United Nations representative responded with calls for more information to be released and prosecution if necessary, and, compensation to the victims. Today, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega lambasted President Obama at a function of the Fifth Summit Of The Americas. Ortega brought up the Bay of Pigs in 1961. President Obama's response included "I'm grateful that President Ortega did not blame me for things that happened when I was three months old.
Too often, an opportunity to build a fresh partnership of the Americas has been undermined by stale debates. We've all heard these arguments before." Hillary Clinton was asked about the Ortega diatribe, her response was to change the subject " I thought the cultural (dance) performance was fascinating." When asked a second time, "To have those first class Caribbean entertainers...all on one stage and to see how much was done in such a small amount of space, I was overwhelmed." There is a lack of coherency in the quick decisions, the planning and the apparent failure to consider any consequences except from the Conservative opinion.
