Found a surprising article from the Wall Street Journal while searching the news. It points out that Obama is just another Bush or Cheney which breaking news for any main stream source of news. Not only is he is continuing on with bush’s torture and spying programs he is expanding them.
Obama recently defended the CIAs torturing people in the Bush torture memos that were released with the defense that they were just following orders. Thats the garbage that the Nazi’s tried to use as an excuse during the Nuremberg Trials for using the Jewish people for scientific experiments, and gassing them to death. How much further does America need to fall before we start gassing people?
In another slap in the face to the intelligence of the American people Obama is now trying to prevent new torture pictures from being released because it will “put our troops in danger”. Maybe in danger of court martial. I don’t think for one minute that these army personnel are just waking up at the prison one day and saying hey lets go do some demonic sexual and torture acts on the prisoners and film our selves doing it. Defiantly something that is ordered from on high – they just happened to find the sickos that are willing to do it.
Its also funny that Obama does not just close down the Guantanamo Bay torture facility for a approval ratings especially when they can just ship everyone over to one of the other hell holes that the US owns & operates like Abu Ghraib, or one we don’t even know about.
Obama’s Military Tribunals
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB124242595415225131.html
President Obama’s endorsements of Bush-Cheney antiterror policies are by now routine: for example, opposing the release of prisoner abuse photographs and support for indefinite detention for some detainees, and that’s just this week. More remarkable is White House creativity in portraying these U-turns as epic change.
Mr. Obama deserves credit for accepting that the civilian courts are largely unsuited for the realities of the war on terror. He has now decided to preserve a tribunal process that will be identical in every material way to the one favored by Dick Cheney — and which, contrary to the narrative that Democrats promulgated for years, will be the fairest and most open war-crimes trials in U.S. history.
Schakowsky On Torture: “Just Following Orders” A Historically Bogus Argument
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/04/17/schakowsky-on-torture-jus_n_188395.html
Schakowsky, in an interview with the Huffington Post, says she’s heard that argument before. “This notion that ‘I was just obeying orders’ — I don’t want to compare this to Nazi Germany, but we’ve come to almost ridicule the notion that when horrific acts have been committed that people can use the excuse that, ‘Well, I was just following orders,’” she says.
Its BAD news when your lib friends start bashing you Obama!
Detainee Photos: Obama Seeks To Block Release
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2009/05/13/detainee-photos-obama-see_n_203024.html
President Barack Obama declared Wednesday he would try to block the court-ordered release of photos showing U.S. troops abusing prisoners, abruptly reversing his position out of concern the pictures would “further inflame anti-American opinion” and endanger U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.
This one is funny because they turn around and say he is being pressured by republicans. What republicans? Dems have the majority, not that there is any difference between the two groups other than what they are pretending to be against for the day. Don’t want to release pictures to further prove that we are truly deamons rather than the “good guys” that we pretend to be.
