No, it doesn't. al Awlaki was guilty. Guantanamo held innocent people as young as 13 years old, which were detained for a ridiculous amount of time and then released because they were guilty of nothing. Even Bush couldn't bring to trial a bunch of people that were in the wrong place at the wrong time. From the guilty, tons of bogus information was obtained. Few of them really guilty got what was coming to them. Guantanamo was a huge mess, legally and politically. Guilty based on what? And, your boy promised to fix Guantanamo. Remember? More bull**** from Obama, who can do no wrong. My guess is Obama wants to look tough or the staff said WFT Obama, we have him!!!

Gitmo is a particularly ambiguous place. Legally it is simply leased from Castro, just like a base in Japan, Germany or Turkey. We actually send them a check every year that they refuse to cash. We can even say we are following the laws of Cuba since locking up political prisoners there is the normal thing to do. Obama must see the convenient irony too since he has done nothing to change the situation. Canada and US lock up political prisoners all the time. We are in fact hypocrites in this regard. See G8/20 in Toronto for a recent good example. Wall Street and DC have a history of this too. But when rocks and bullets fly here, they are criminals but in Syria, Egypt, Yemen, Libya... they are good guys. Just depends on if our corrupt leaders support the current leader or not. -- Eat the rich, screw the companies and wonder why there are no jobs. -- Obama and the lefty fleabagger attitude |

A needless criminal act, which carries ramifications to this day. It was actually somewhat legal, particularly if they call them POWs. That all gets back to whether this is actually a war. If it isn't a war, why are we bombing people? Would it be better if we just murdered these people anonymously, like the Israelis? Perhaps. I don't think we have much to show from the $3 trillion we spent doing it with massive force. I believe, according to law, "wars" are declared, not contrived. If that was true, we would not have actually had war since 1945. Truman, Johnson, Reagan and the Bushes (41, 42, 43& 44) never got the word. Nor did Nixon until this happened: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_Powers_Resolution To use the Obama line, Nixon inherited his war but to take the analogy even farther, he said he would stop the war and he escalated it, just l;ike Afghanistan. He also expanded it into another country just like Obama. They both had their massive leak of government documents about it. Why do we believe any of these guys? My major disappointment with Obama is that he hasn't pulled us completely out of Iraq and Afghanistan. I also understand, however, that he doesn't suffer from a rigid personality disorder. His predecessor did, but, fortunately, most presidents did not. It's one thing for a presidential candidate to say "X" before he/she gets into office and then, upon assuming the office, finding out that the assumptions were based upon faulty or incomplete information. That's a challenge that faces just about every political candidate, of course. I mean, in relation to the economy, I am sure Obama didn't know how big a mess Bush had created and left behind, and how intransigent the GOP would be in terms of resolution. -- I'll believe corporations are people when Texas executes one. |
