The main reason we're doing bombing runs in Syria and Iraq is because ISIS inflamed American passions with grisly videos of beheadings. yet the release of that report is bound to inflame many in the Middle East. It seems they don't need much provocation to start launching missiles into Israel or to commit far worse atrocities.
“Releasing this report at this time is not in America’s best interests,” is what Congressman Charlie Dent said last night. “This report is incendiary and its release will put American lives overseas at risk. Currently, U.S.-led forces are engaging ISIS forces. The release of the report could provide ISIS and other extremists groups an additional pretext to increase their gruesome practices that have included beheadings,” he notes.
Dent had previously requested Senator Diane Feinstein to hold off on releasing the report. But she let it rip anyway. Though i generally favor complete transparency, the lives of American soldiers trump that concern.
