SECRET CIA DOCUMENT DECLASSIFIED *

Our President, Barack Obama,

Has authorized the CIA

To tell us how they killed Osama

(And made a trial a DOA).

The high point of this public narrative

Is what’s left out of their declarative:

That they used torture to help them

Bring on bin Laden’s requiem.

This really needs some underlining

For citizens who wave the flag

While claiming torture makes them gag.

For cheering this is like designing

A future where we torture those

Whom he would classify as foes.

*  “ According to senior administration officials, suspected terrorists in custody since 9/11 -- including the attack’s mastermind, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed -- identified a courier who had a close relationship with bin Laden.”
