"changing the definitions of 'torture' to suit their whim,"
Obama has changed the term "terrorist attack" to "man caused disaster" along with several other phrases.
As far as water boarding, certain branches of our service personnel are water boarded during their training. If they ever try these men for what was done I feel it would be an injustice. I don’t believe in torture and don’t believe water boarding, intimidation by dogs or loud music should be considered as such. If performing these deeds would get information to save even one of our military personnel I say go for it. Torture is what was done to our soldiers during the Vietnam war, WWII, and in Somalia : broken arms, beatings, being shocked with electrical cords, etc.

First. What would Al Gore, Obama, or any other democrat have done if they were in power when 911 occurred. Would someone ask a democrat? I'm curious. Second. The democrats keep talking about some of our laws are outdated and need revamped. (Gun control) Well, you democrats feel bad because a terrorist is naked in a cell and it offends his religeon? I guess cutting off heads and purposely killing civillians is totally OK. Please. Maybe its time to revamp our policies on dealing with thoes who mean to do us harm. Bush gave this country our teeth back. Remember when Saddam said th US does not have the stomach for war? He meant were weak. No Saddam. Now were weak.

As security information people;being a disabled veteran and having a family member involved in highly sensitive national security position, if we were to release information of national security to the media, we could be trier for treason. Mr. Obama has released information (cia documents) that are extremely top secret. The water boarding is nothing compared to the torture that any American P.O.W. experienced during the history of this country.

Obama is selling out our country. He has an agenda-to turn the AMERICAN culture into a slavery for a certain group of people; and it's not his group!
The culture he desires SO bad will come back to bite him twice as hard.
Ignorance or stupidity? Stupidity, because he knows what he is doing! (but refuses to do what is best for OUR Country).
Ignornace, as this culture that he craves, does not want what the average AMERICAN has, they want and they will take what HE has.

If someone was threatening to blowup your grandkids and you had the ability to stop them but putting a caterpillar in their cell or pouring water on their face, would you do it? Or would you sit back and let them die? Because if you would go the extra mile to save your family, then you have no business criticizing Bush for trying to save America.
You need to do a better job of checking your facts and stop listening to the talking heads in Congress. Bush and the Republicans tried on several occasions to regulate Freddie and Fanny, but, you guessed it, the democrats blocked it and said they were doing just fine.

Obama is the lowest piece of trash ever to even visit the White House much less live there. More voter fraud happened during his campaign than has ever happened and the bastard managed to have a group (ACORN) to contribute to those violations and the tax payers, due to the fact no one was ever informed that ACORN was financed by the government ( that's me and other conservatives, MOST of you bastard liberals don't pay taxes). By the way the congress was infested and controlled by liberal democrats for 2 years before Obama was elected, ever wonder why ACORN got government money??? The liberal idiots had been planning for this past election for a long time putting things like ACORN in place. Obama is a scumbag criminal from Kenya by way of Chicago.

Second, ( and I promise not to go too high in numbers I know you liberals can't count, among other things) President Bush DID NOT cause ( and the word is recession , not depression) the scumbag liberals in congress, who by the way were the majority for 2 years even before this past election were the cause and are now piling on even more since they have "they boy" in the white house.

For far too long leaders in the Bush Administration both thumbed their noses at the laws of our nation, and simultaneously stomped on them as well.
The United States prosecuted war criminals after World War II for, guess what? Water boarding. Torturing of prisoners is what the Nazi's did. It's what Imperial Japan did. It's what the Soviet Union did. It's what the Vietnamese and Chinese did. And now it's what America did. Difference is we have the opportunity to show why we're different from those despotic regimes by holding accountable those who authorized the use of torture.
And, sorry Karl Rove, but using torture, and violating laws and principles that our Republic has stood on for more than 200 years, and choosing not to do so, is not a difference in "policy". It is a difference between doing what is right, and commiting war crimes.

Maybe you can smile at them and apologize for being an American or maybe your can remind them we are a Country who abides by the laws and we don't torture. Maybe you can carry a Military play book in your back pocket and pull it out and show it to them so they can pick one of the approved techniques. Also a copy of the Constitution to remind them we live by Principals. Just in case maybe you should carry a bucket to put your head in.

We had not yet found out how to make pictures lie so easily back then.

I believe if we can prove he is illegal everything he has done and signed becomes null and void. I also believe that is why he is hiding the needed papers. He is probably recieving messages on his Blackberry giving him instructions from Soros and the Saudi's on what step to take next is turning over the U. S. to the World Government.

Second, ( and I promise not to go too high in numbers I know you liberals can't count, among other things) President Bush DID NOT cause ( and the word is recession , not depression) the scumbag liberals in congress, who by the way were the majority for 2 years even before this past election were the cause and are now piling on even more since they have "they boy" in the white house. It's really depressing that liberals have to get so much older before they can actually reason a little with some facts.

BWAti, are you trying to imply that in january 2001, the new President GW Bush inherited a bad economy, and within 8 months later got dealt september 11th, the dow tanked the next day.and after tax cuts to everyone, the dow exploded! fighting 2 wars, the dow kept going up!! then in 2006 the dems took control of the house and senate, and in late 2006 into 2007 the housing and stock industries took a nose dive, the housing market controlled by barney franks and chris dodd (fannie mae and freddy mac) who were warned by pres bush and john mccain. to do something about this coming crises, did nothing!! for you to say the dems all caused this, is to say YOU ARE 100% RIGHT!!!

Bush didn't do anything wrong.If called he needs to respond like ollie north did Stick to the facts and he will show the american people what a bunch of nut cases we have in congress.

Three months of Obama has almost destroyed the US. No border enforcement, Iran will have the bomb soon, Korea has the bomb and shoots missles over our ships, transition to Socialisim, prosecuting former political rivals and policies, maybe even Bush, making jokes of Tea Partys, one can go on and on. Revolution is the truth and answer.

Welcome to the official Banana Republic of Obamanism!

Only dictators do this only third world countries do this you liberals are whack jobs rule of law my but you will put a former president in jail before you put a terrorist in jail because of what hate.

Why doesn't Obama stick to the present and prosecute some of the members of his own cabinet - like the ones who "forgot" to pay their taxes. These Bush officials were doing their jobs and I thank them for a job well done. I felt safe under Bush. Can't say that about Obama.

For far too long leaders in the Bush Administration both thumbed their noses at the laws of our nation, and simultaneously stomped on them as well.
The United States prosecuted war criminals after World War II for, guess what? Water boarding. Torturing of prisoners is what the Nazi's did. It's what Imperial Japan did. It's what the Soviet Union did. It's what the Vietnamese and Chinese did. And now it's what America did. Difference is we have the opportunity to show why we're different from those despotic regimes by holding accountable those who authorized the use of torture.
And, sorry Karl Rove, but using torture, and violating laws and principles that our Republic has stood on for more than 200 years, and choosing not to do so, is not a difference in "policy". It is a difference between doing what is right, and commiting war crimes.

Yeah Right ! and the Holocaust never happened. And Pearl Harbour was never bombed. And Pearl did not get his head cut off. and what Planet are you from? Where do you get your information from? Move On.com? MSNBC? NBC? Maybe you can test your theory when the Terrorist come here and want to chop your head off. Maybe you can smile at them and apologize for being an American or maybe your can remind them we are a Country who abides by the laws and we don't torture. Maybe you can carry a Military play book in your back pocket and pull it out and show it to them so they can pick one of the approved techniques. Also a copy of the Constitution to remind them we live by Principals. Just in case maybe you should carry a bucket to put your head in.

How old were you during WWII? Or were you even born yet?? Well, I was and like most of America I saw newsreels of the war 9our own military film and captured enemy film) every Saturday night at the movies.What you just described is no where near what really happened. We had not yet found out how to make pictures lie so easily back then. It is constantly amazing to me that so many parts of academia want to go to so much trouble to spread false info. about thsoe times. What happens when all of us who sacrificed, weere injured andwere POWs are gone, I shudder to think.
Candor
I really don't think you can compare water boarding to genocide, medical experiments on live people, and murder. (Sounds like you've been reading some of the new so called history books that have crept their way into our school system.) Remember, our enemies (Terrorists) are the ones that will have you killed if you make a cartoon of, or make fun of the muslim religion.
Laurel
YES! FINALLY!!!
justice. law. constitution. all these things were put in the trash by republicans.
prosecute bush, cheney, rove, and foxnews.
i can't wait to see bush or rove behind bars.
backtobasicsplease
For Heaven's sake!!What did any of those people do to you, your family and friends, beside keep you alive and well under great odds???Perhaps that was an error?
Sick of Libs
Laurel - Are you back again? I thought we sent you to Moveon.org & the Daily Kos! Have you calmed your rage yet?
Roger
Laurel
Why don't we prosecute you for being stupid? Oh , I remember liberals think being stupid is a virtue.
Shamballa
They should start with Barney Frank and Chris Dodd. Then they should go after the numerous appointees who don't seem to think they have to pay income tax. The current administration is rife with corruption.
Roger
Shamballa
You are absolutely right!!!! I thought Bill Clinton had a criminal bunch but they were choir boys compared to this Obama bunch!!!!!

Only dictators of small nations do this we ar not free anymore and I was right when the only people who want this are liberals like you who care for terrorist than the United States sorry we are not like Russia or China.

Where is the Supreme Court on all of this. The U.S. Constitution is being trampled on and they won't even hear cases challenging BO for not providing proof of his citizenship status. I believe if we can prove he is illegal everything he has done and signed becomes null and void. I also believe that is why he is hiding the needed papers. He is probably recieving messages on his Blackberry giving him instructions from Soros and the Saudi's on what step to take next is turning over the U. S. to the World Government.
Sandy
I believe one of the readers was correct, Obama and his minions are using this situation to cover what Congress is now up to. This Cap and Trade will distroy MORE companies in this country putting MORE people out of work and increasing our energy bills to a point many wont beable to pay. We are going BACKWARDS IN THIS COUNTRY so that we all will be draged down to the level of 3rd world countrys. Of course OB and his left wing cronies will be living high on the hog while the rest of us will all be on the same level...in the dumps. Oh and the so called torture is a joke! Why not just laugh at them, they wouldn't know how to handle that.
Anonymous
I tried to agree with you but did not get my message posted. Maybe this one will go through. This is just another diversion so noone pays any attention to the Cap & Trade bill being pushed down our gullets.
7/4
Sandy, I totally agree with you. This is another diversion from the reality that is this enery bill (Cap & Trade).. $3000.00 a year? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? I can't say he didn't warn everyone. BHO did say it could make electric bills "sky rocket".(his words) The jobs it will produce has not been proven as with his other shovel ready jobs to date so what are they thinking? That maybe the $400.00 will shut us up? WAKE UP PEOPLE this is wacko. It's really scary to me what people will do with no proof or facts. Global Warming? REALLY? Prove it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The rings in the leftys noses are being tugged right over the cliff. Don't get caught up in the BS. Have you gotten you carbon footprint yet? You've got to see it to beleive it. You will have a bigger footprint if you are conservative - imagine that!
Christian View
Sandy, our family (and congregation) believe that we are here to take care of the earth and all of it's creatures. You can't put a price on our future. I understand your concerns financially, but it's this type of selfish thought that is destroying our precious earth. It's about time that we finally take responsibility for our actions. Responsibility is sometimes not easy, but it is THE ONLY course of action to become a greater Nation.
Jeff
CV:Why don't yau and your congregation pass the plate for me so that next year I can heat my home. Oh! I forgot global warming will make heat unnessary.

Christian View,,,,
I too am a christian, and while I may agree with you on some things I also disagree on others. First of all you do not understand my financial concerns. Secondly, I am far from selfish... You say" you can not put p price on our future" Well I guess you have not noticed our President and our congress has put a price on our future and the future of our children. And that price is in the trillions and still growing. Maybe you can afford to have more heaped on your plate but not everyone can.
Alexander Benjamin
IT'S ABOUT TIME we had a President that followed the rule of law. He has done everything that he said he was going to do during the election, and he sticks to his guns. Integrity at it's best!
Shamballa
Here's some integrity for you:
I promise to use federal campaign funds....................................Broken
I will get US troops out of Iraq in 16 month................................Breaking
I will change Washington with new faces....................................Broken
I will not hire lobbyists, hires lobbyist Daschle..........................Broken
I will be bi-partisan. Hires highly partisan Emanual...................Broken
I will eliminate Bush tax cuts.....................................................Breaking
I will dump Patriot Act wire tapping..........................................Breaking
I will eliminate tax breaks for wealthy.......................................Breaking
Sick of Libs
Shamballa - Thanks for setting Alexander straight! Have these Libs ever actually studied the issues and promises this president has spun on the American people? I have a feeling most of them are working or in school and have no time to read what this radical incompetent is actually doing to our country! They rave over THE ONE without having a clue what they're raving over! We're ALL going to be stuck with massive taxes and restrictions, and they still don't get it!
Walt Whitney
WOW! I can't believe that some folks here ACTUALLY think that we as a Nation shouldn't follow the rule of law! Don't get me wrong, freedom of speech is an amazing gift, and it's gret that everyone is finally using it. I just can't figure out why most of the people here are "America Haters". The law is the law, and NO ONE is above it. Can anyone here complaining, deny that statement?
Shamballa
Can you cite one law that they broke? I didn't think so.
Benlar
Walt, this is a smoke screen designe to divert attentioa away from the failures of Fanny and Freddie. The ameriacn people are paying more attention to what is happening and what has lead to this crisis. The blame is getting uncomfortably close to home for the Obama Admin. and they need to change the focus.
Anonymous
Oh please!!!!!!!!!!! If any one prosecutes TBA, they have to do the same for all of congress who authorized it...
Candor
Not America Haters (As you on the Left would have everyone believe) America Lovers (Not like the new administration). We're called the RIGHT for a reason. (Figure it out ) You and the other lefty sheep are going right over the cliff with Obama leading the way.
