"Barack Obama gained the presidency with promises to restore America's fidelity to international law. A lawyer and law professor, he attacked the Bush administration's legal shortcuts in the "war on terror" and made a pledge to close Guantánamo. Since his inauguration, he has offered lofty rhetoric and reiterated pledges to end the Guantánamo camps, forbid torture and end the process of "extraordinary" renditions involving black sites. But his actions fall remarkably short of his words."

Obama = Bush
Only difference is unlike Bush, Obama is trying to play every side and his speechs are not funny

Fine. But why do you think that a discussion of torture ought to be confined to the politics forum?

Because it has nothing to do with Anti-Fascism.

More like his torture binge. He has been expanding Afghanistans' military prison where worse abuses are known to occur. Whats not to like? :laugh:
