Another campaign promise thrown under the bus. You Lefties must be
getting mighty tired of all this whiffing on your important issues by
Dear Leader.

well...no. the right wing liar (a redundancy) forgets to tell us that
obama said he'd obey CONGRESSIONAL mandates...which is what this was

bush said he didn't need congressional oversight to detain people.
obama says he does.

so the right wing liar strikes again.

"In concluding that it does not need specific permission from Congress
to hold detainees without charges, the Obama administration is
adopting one of the arguments advanced by the Bush administration in
years of debates about detention policies."

Idiot.- Hide quoted text -

guess the moron didn't read the article:

"Instead, the administration will continue to hold the detainees
without bringing them to trial based on the power it says it has under
the Congressional resolution passed after the attacks of Sept. 11,
2001, authorizing the president to use force against forces of Al
Qaeda and the Taliban.


You're confused. Here's what your boy promised:

""He will reject the Military Commissions Act, which allowed the U.S.
to circumvent Geneva Conventions in the handling of detainees."

But now he's reversed that. Here's what the ACLU has to say about
that:

Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties
Union, said Obama was taking the wrong approach by trying to retain
the commissions.

"As unfortunate as it is to inherit that legacy, to accommodate those
policies is essentially to ratify them," Romero said. "President Obama
would do well to remember his own infamous words during his
presidential campaign: you can't put lipstick on a pig."

Another BO lie.
