Obama's apparent lack of outrage and concern over torture/war crime accountability,
Edited on Thu Aug-27-09 09:44 AM by G_j
gives me great pause.
And very disturbing is the continued use of Blackwater (Xe) etc.. This really makes no sense
for any person of good will, and good heart. These folks were on a religious crusade to kill Muslims, they have committed out and out murder.


I know this is a repetitive subject, but what's the deal with giving crimes against humanity a free pass?
It surely has caused me to seriously doubt him as a person of conscience. I just don't get it.

2. Yeah, well, you know the score
We on the left have to function as the loyal opposition, because the Republics can't.

Too bad the sycophants don't understand that, but I certainly don't blame them for not liking it.

It seems like the current administration is pretty heavily invested in creating the illusion that things are back to normal, so they want to gloss all that shit over just like Clinton did with the Bush 1 people. This will not end well.

4. I hopeful that it's a case of let's get healthcare done whilst we gather the case.
Prosecution of a prior administration, while the right thing to do, is going to cause a huge backlash when it happens.

The case to proceed must be airtight and the administration needs to be able to claim our hands are tied.
