redneckgaijin... oh, that's right, because I was deluded and stupid, that's why.
Quoting from (this might seem a pattern) Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish:
Reading the NYT article Sullivan linked to in the quote, the following become clear:
(1) Barack Obama believes that the Constitutional protection against double jeopardy (being tried twice for the same act) is a dead letter;
(2) Barack Obama believes that the President has the right to imprison indefinitely anyone, any time, for any reason;
(3) Any objections Barack Obama has to torture and evidence extracted thereby is strictly practical, not moral; and
(4) Barack Obama believes the President has the right to defy the rulings of judges from the bench.
We've replaced one elected king with another, haven't we? 'Cause I sure don't see the rule of law in this.
Quoting from (this might seem a pattern) Andrew Sullivan's Daily Dish:
Jawad was ordered released from the Gitmo torture compound yesterday after years of abuse, cruelty, sadism and torture authorized by the president of the United States, George W. Bush. Staggeringly, the Obama administration is resisting his release and threatening a criminal charge.
That's why we supported Obama, right?
