Here's a man held on the flimsiest of evidence, for a decade, an incarceration repeatedly criticized by courts. Is Obama raising a head for 9/11? Gross.<br /><br />Is this what Democrats mean by "justice"? How exactly is that better than the Republican sense of the term? How is this death an example of American ideals of the rule of law?<br /><br />Shame.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-35315577734153513802012-09-11T07:41:11.334-07:002012-09-11T07:41:11.334-07:00Well said.Well said.Hank Greerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15243840232233423724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3980421295592818922.post-32449985296179910862012-09-11T07:31:55.658-07:002012-09-11T07:31:55.658-07:00Encouraging news from Obama's present:

Officials are refusing to release the cause of death. Six previous deaths have been ruled suicide, but without independent confirmation.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Obama's justice department announced it won't prosecute any high-level Americans for torture, even when they have confessed and made money from writing books about their crimes.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Obama routinely pulls the trigger of drones on women, children, and untried "suspected" militants (including first responders) in violation of US and international law.<br /><br />But, that's OK, right? Because Obama is a Democrat, and we only worry about bad things if a Republican does them.<br /><br />Know what you're voting for, be honest about it, and take responsibility for it.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
