It's a reactionary, not well thought-out, impulsive move. I would go as far to say that this is seemingly a design to spin pubic image for Obama rather than make a real difference to how we as a country handles the threat of terrorism and behaves towards others. We can not afford to go down this route again. <br> It saddens me that a country I call home, one where I have so many rights I take for granted is now dismantling the very foundation our laws and principles were built on. <br> <br> Also interesting on Obama's current choices and what it's saying about him: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/robert-kuttner/selective-lion_b_207229.html<br> http://storm-the-keep.blog.co.uk/2009/05/26/has-obama-lost-his-morals-6181377/#c10003703http://storm-the-keep.blog.co.uk/2009/04/27/a-brief-history-of-waterboarding-6017820/#c9816830tag:storm-the-keep.blog.co.uk,2009-05-04:/2009/04/27/a-brief-history-of-waterboarding-6017820/#c9816830Mon, 04 May 2009 18:36:25 +0200check out:<br> http://thinkprogress.org/2009/05/01/hannity-chicken/<br> i think the link is in poor taste...taunting someone is not the way to change opinions. <br> but the article does link to other interesting reads...<br> perhaps Hannity will rethink his position. the media; including the liberal media should not be supporting this...torture is torture regardless of what point you're trying to make or who you are baiting to undergo the experience. http://storm-the-keep.blog.co.uk/2009/04/27/a-brief-history-of-waterboarding-6017820/#c9816830
