When information is too much

I don't like the idea of torture, it makes my skin crawl to a degree. But there comes a point when I don't know what releasing these documents as the Obama administration does. I appreciate that he is trying to distance himself from the Bush administration, and I know that he was adamant about closing Guantanamo because he thought it was being used as a recruiting tool, but isn't it sometimes better to let sleeping dogs lie? Privately reprimand the people who let the torture get out of control, but don't cast it out and let the world see how bad it was. I just don't see how any good can come of this- only further embarrassment. Not to mention the morale issue, these are volunteer service people- not contractors, not well paid, many do it out of patriotism, and that will be damaged if they become publicly embarrassed. Isn't the outrage from that a much larger recruiting tool for terrorism than a prison where 'alleged' things happened? I thought there was an unwritten code that Presidents didn't actively embarrass former presidents or something like that, and it seems Obama does whatever he wants to do; and usually the exactly opposite. I understand he wants to be his own man, but its still the same country, and a certain amount of pride should be taken with that. I don't want my president shaking hands a smiling like a chum with a dictator who called your predecessor 'Satan', and took every moment he could to jeer and blame America. I don't like that and I don't want it to happen again. By doing so I think you are condoning the public humiliation of the Presidency, and legitimising a professed 'revolutionary' against the United States. Its time Obama grows up and acts tough on something other than the former administration. So far this isn't change to believe in; its been blame to relive in.
