Mike Rogers, chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, added his rather important voice to the growing number of current and former officials who believe the Obama administration should expedite the release of some documents captured during the raid that killed Osama bin Laden. And Rogers, in an appearance Sunday on Meet the Press, suggested that the Obama administration cherry-picked the few documents released to date to create a narrative about al Qaeda favorable to the president.
“I think we ought to seriously give consideration to allowing more than 17 documents that were selectively picked by the administration to be made public,” he told Meet the Press host David Gregory. “I think that probably doesn’t tell the whole story.”
