A gross distortion.
Check again, Dave. You are all wet on this.
You need to take a look at something beyond those left
wing blogs, Not At All. If you had done so you would have discovered that
your courageous Congress after dithering for several years dealt with the
issue like a hot potato, finally deciding in 2006 to provide retroactive
legal protection to those U.S. personnel who engaged in or directed the
activity.
I will credit Obama with the political guts to step up to the plate and say
that if a few thousand or a few hundred thousand Americans get killed as a
result of prohibiting the activity, he takes responsibility for that result.
