UPDATED 18 APRIL – High-profile attorney says the declassified Department of Justice memos detailing interrogation techniques prove the U.S. did not torture

UPDATE: 18 April

Is sleep deprivation, grabbing by the collar and diaper-wearing torture?

Obama said Thursday that the U.S. won’t prosecute CIA officials who used the techniques and ordered the memos rescinded. The CIA interrogators, some of whom were contractors, weren’t identified in the partially censored documents.

“This is a time for reflection, not retribution,” Obama said. “In releasing these memos, it is our intention to assure those who carried out their duties relying in good faith upon legal advice from the Department of Justice that they will not be subject to prosecution.”

While civil rights groups applauded Obama for releasing the memos, some expressed frustration with his promises of immunity for those who followed the memos’ guidance — and predicted that it would amount to blanket cover for all former Bush administration officials. Read More

Obama change his policies so much that no one knows what he will or won’t do for self political power!

At least one high-profile attorney says the declassified Department of Justice memos detailing interrogation techniques prove the U.S. did not torture, even as the ACLU and some lawmakers claim the memos are proof positive the Bush administration did.

David Rivkin, a constitutional lawyer and member of the Council on Foreign Relations, released a statement Friday saying the release of four memos provides a “great benefit” to the former president.

“This data is analyzed in great detail to establish that the use of these techniques does not inflict either physical or psychological damage,” said Rivkin, who served in the administrations of Ronald Reagan and George H.W. Bush. “The conclusions (the) memos reach that the specific interrogation techniques used by the CIA did not constitute torture are eminently reasonable.” Read More

We all know that the liberals will not accept anyones word for it because they hate President Bush!

Obama Iraq Troop Greeting Allegedly Staged

MacsMind contends that the troop contingent was contrived, based on an e-mail he says he received “from a sergeant that was there.

We were pre-screened, asked by officials “Who voted for Obama?”, and then those who raised their hands were shuffled to the front of the receiving line. They even handed out digital cameras and asked them to hold them up. Read More with pictures at the source!

Why not! Obama has been staging his being liked all along. But this is about as sick as you can get Obama, using our military in such a manner!

Obama is going to give Gitmo prisoners freedom on American soil and welfare to start a new life

President Barack Obama’s intelligence chief confirmed Thursday that some Guantanamo inmates may be released on US soil and receive assistance to return to society.

“If we are to release them in the United States, we need some sort of assistance for them to start a new life,” said National Intelligence Director Dennis Blair at his first press conference.

“You can’t just put them on the street,” he added. “All that is work in progress.” Read More

Obama is now going to give Guantanamo inmates freedom on American soil and welfare to start a new life. These people are the ones that were killing American military men and women and now Obama will treat them better than our own military…he wanted our military to pay for their own heathcare remember! Well what can be said but its understandable that a Muslim will look out for his brothers! These people still want to kill us. Obama is acting more like a Muslim and a dictator by his own actions.
