One More Broken Campaign Promise

[zerojunkie]

Maybe he should've worked on this instead of his multiple public appearances.

Obama's Dick Cheney Moment

President Obama's decision not to go to Congress for help in establishing reasonable standards for the continued detention of Guantanamo detainees is a failure of leadership in the project of putting American law on a sound basis for a long-term confrontation with terrorism.

A lefty paper would have basically said the same thing.

dick cheney wasnt the president. anybody thought about that.

[david austin]

So every lefty article saying Cheney essentially ran the admin was....?

The title is a jab but the meat of the article is still direct to the point.

[tricky]

So is the right (zerojunkie) complaining about the continuation of unlawful indefinite detention or simply playing gotcha on a broken campaign promise? Considering that the right has clearly stated their goal is to stop Obama on everything no matter the cost and they didn't give a damn about legal framework for terrorists the previous 8 years.....seems their concern is a little disingenuous.

funny how the right (or the left) won't step up with a plan for placing these prisoners elsewhere.

you can't sell your house without a plan on where you are going to live

I think it's funny that people are making an uproar about housing the prisoners in the US. I hardly think they're a threat locked up in a SuperMax prison somewhere.

I think the prisoners should at least be rotated through a series of japanese gameshows in the interim...

Bush was just a puppet... Cheney was the true evil behind the empire. The man is by far one of the most evil men alive today, along with his good friend D. Rumsfeld. Bush shouldnt go without trial either, but if you want to know who really had their hand in the cookie jar, then everyone knows it was good ol' Dick.

speaks volumes to the "amazing" propaganda that group created. Then again, they write the rules we all live by...the government is their front. *takes off tinfoil hat

[Deff Gordon]

not to mention Rumsy lining his pockets on the Bird Flu scare. he's head of the company that makes Tamiflu and got the billions in contracts from the government.

funny how they deemed their financials as too interwoven or intricate to unwind to work in public office. that's the bs part.

wtf is this shit ^^^^
