another statement from the above piece -
"...So now, we will see how complicit our current president wants to be in perpetuating and legitimizing war crimes, in defiance of the Geneva Conventions:
The A.C.L.U. is representing Mr. Masri in a case against the United States now before the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights. The petition was filed in 2008 and the United States government has yet to respond..."
i've been wondering this too-i know it's tough to go against these 'forces' but it is time and obomba's in the driver's seat-unfortunately for him...all things considered. he could truly make history in the same way civil rights made history, and new deal, etc. otherwise he'll just end up looking sorta pathetic -trying to 'please' people who don't deserve pleasing, caving in to monstrous, and fearful, moneyed, people-calling it 'pragmatism'and 'compromise' when in fact it is just getting from point A to point B (thru the office) intact-obviously. i'm rooting for you to finally do something for a real change for the 'people' obomba-will u? selling our med system to the ins. companies ain't it, either.
