“Teabaggers” didn’t make this decision.

Dear America,
Damned be the Rule of Law…
… So says your president.

Hahahaha…
… Some Nation of Laws you’ve grown up to be.

What?
I see, you have a man to follow, instead.
Now, tell me, what good is a Democracy for when you prefer the whims of men and not of Laws?

You assume that there are no easy choices, but what!!!

He gets it from historical facts.

On everything except stem cells. Two much forked tongue for me. Any operation that the CIA has ever is considered patriotic or necessary, except when JFK threatened to blast them into a thousand pieces, along with not accelerating Vietnam, dissolving the Federal Reserve, and not giving Ben-Gurian Nuclear Weapons. So in essence, Obama may be frightened of going against the CIA for obvious reasons.

One thing I am glad of is that hoodwinked Democrats have taken off their rose-colored glasses with Obama much quicker than the Republicans did with Bush.

Remember Obama is a constitutional scholar. With people calling him fascist/other bs, he won’t come right out and start dictating. At a time when his party has a tenuous hold over the legislature and people gunning for him everywhere, why would he risk creating enemies or dividing the country further. Not to mention all the other things he has going atm, there are people in better positions to file formal charges. He only released the memos last week, this is just the beginning of the storm.

Oh and rhodes, where do you get your crap. Much of what you said is crap.

Bush/Cheney should have been impeached. They weren’t. Obama shares the blame for not impeaching Bush/Cheney while he was a senator.

I don’t blame Obama for not committing political suicide, and I don’t want the president to lead these charges. The charges are very serious and not simply the stuff of political vendettas, in this case, but it’s not hard to imagine a case in which the charges aren’t as serious and are most certainly political vendettas. Imagine W. Bush pressing charges against Clinton for lying under oath about a blow job, had no one else done it.

Since there is no statute of limitations on their crimes, they can be charged in the future. Pol Pot’s general is on trial now. I don’t want to wait that long, especially since Pol Pot is dead; but it does show that the world does not forget these things. I want to see those innocent captives we tortured have their day in court. I want justice for them.

Now, it’s time to regroup and rethink our strategy. C’mon Progressives, let’s get creative and find a way to force this issue and keep the pressure!
P.S. I already signed the petition.

I wish I had some creative ideas…..but I’m drawing a blank right now.

Anyone?

I mean he really has so much to work with here.

We now have Clinton 2.

Bill Clinton had some pretty statistics at the end of his administration, but how exactly are we doing long-term based Bill Clinton’s actions in the 90’s?

Bill Clinton signed NAFTA, which led to a whole series of other investment-class trade schemes such as CAFTA. Bill Clinton deregulated corporations. I will just name these two things, because they are bad enough by themselves.

Hillary told us Bill created 22 million jobs during his tenure. We had a budget surplus, unemployment was down etc.
That’s awesome if only we had a time machine to perpetually live in the Clinton 90’s.

What has Clinton/Republican trade policy and deregulation netted us in 2009?

Obama wants to look forward and not hold war criminals and traitors accountable. He wants to have good stats at the end of the next 4 or possibly 8 years by not rocking the boat and sucking up to Republican votes to pass legislation. We are not talking about constitutional amendments that would be difficult to overturn. We are talking about simple legislation that can be erased by the next Republican majority.

What is America gonna look like when the Obama legislation is history but his precedent of not holding a criminal administration accountable, not to mention some of the authoritarian, anti-constitutional executive branch powers that Bush deemed upon himself and Obama apparently plans to hang on to, still exists?

Hit and run drivers just like to look forward as well.

Ask if this means that torture is now legal in the US?

Ask if we will be apologizing to Japan and its citizens for trying and hanging their citizens for something the US now revels in and is hanging our flag proudly upon.

Ask if those previously convicted of torture will be released and pardoned?

Ask where this policy will end

Ask if this is selective or blanket

Ask how Obama would react if an international court filed charges of torture against these people we are letting go

Ask if Obama would fear he would be charged too for hididng these people and these crimes

We need specifics of how this policy is being played out.

America should be more embarrassed now by the ignoring of the crimes than we ever were by the fact that they occurred in the first place

Bush is walking around laughing at us – he is free to travel where ever he wants when ever he wants and Obama has insured he can torture who ever he wants.

Guess what, Mr. President: if you look forward, you’ll see that directly in front of you is a sh!tstorm brewing over whether or not this is a nation of laws. You might want to think twice about looking back instead.
