Bond accuses Obama of "politicizing" torture; claims sole right to politicize the issue

Via the Post-Dispatch and Star, I see that Kit Bond is accusing Barack Obama of "politicizing" the issue of torture, while showing no restraint in throwing around words like "banana republic" and accusing the President of "stabbing CIA agents in the back." Bond is also accusing the Obama administration of withholding information about the "value" of torture, wonders why Bill Clinton didn't stop the 9/11 terror attacks, and says that Obama is undermining American safety by releasing the information.

I totally agree. The question of whether America should engage in torture should not be a partisan issue.  Thankfully, none of the accusations from Bond in the past week can be considered "politicizing" the issue; such "politicizing" would be unconscionable. Here's a good example of why Kit Bond isn't a huge hypocrite:
