American embassies around the world are bracing for violence. Obama administration officials and Republican legislators have warned of impending death and destruction.
What’s precipitating such concerns is a self-inflicted wound, prompted by the intransigence of Senator Dianne Feinstein, who chairs the Senate Intelligence Committee. She and other panel Democrats insist on releasing publicly a critique of George W. Bush administration use of harsh interrogation techniques after 9/11.
Even Democrats in the CIA are criticizing this so-called “torture” report as unbalanced and incomplete.
We shouldn’t refrain from publishing content just because jihadists will object. That would amount to self-imposing their freedom-crushing shariah-blasphemy laws here.
Disseminating defective government reports certain to reinforce the grievance narratives our enemies use to justify their Islamic supremacism and jihad, however, is recklessly irresponsible.
