Big Truth!!!! Don't forget who started this garbage because of 9/11. Not excusing any subsequent administrations continuance or expansion of this abrogation of civil and human rights. Neocons are the real enemy of the people. Don't forget PNAC. I've read a lot of what they strive for, it's downright benign dictatorship they are trying to create. Imperialism is also a key goal of these people, they want to rule the world. Barack is in a hell of a mess and if he is not part of this, then I bet he is sorry he ever ran for office. But committed he is, and because of the PTB, has to continue. No way out. I think. If he still wants this then he's no better than any of the other sociopaths that have led this country by being elected or THEFT of office.
