Yesterday, Sen. Joe Lieberman said the following about the release of the interrogation memos on Fox News's "On the Record":

"I thought release of the memos was a bad idea. ... It wasn't necessary. It just helps our enemies. It doesn't really help us. Again, the president can decide what tactics he wants the CIA or the military to use on people we capture, suspects of terrorism. But to let our enemies know what we are going to do or not do, that's not a good idea."
