Obama’s Cheney Dilemma

Yeah spank em just don't let everybody know you're doing it

saying Bush "made a few mistakes"...is like saying Carter "makes a few pills"

I didn't know that editorials could be cover stories. How about pulling your latte' sipping head out of your rectum and just report the news. An uncomfortable feeling of water in your nose is not torture. Torture is trying to decide weather you want to spent the last 30 seconds of your life in a burning building or free falling from the 30th floor. WAKE UP!!! We have not done enough to find the info that these people have, all because of a couple of you left over hippies that are bent on socializing the country. Please break out of your lib mold and get your info from some other sources, try talking to some Service men.

i say we bring our troops home and fix problems in america first you *** holes

Like OMG joshandjenn916, are you like angry, or something?

Which one of you is sleeping with Obama? I would advise whoever is in Obama's pants, to get out and start doing some REAL journalism...like reporting the facts. I know, I know, that sounds crazy, but maybe you could just TRY to report something accurate. Anyone with half a brain knows that all of our problems aren't the fault of Bush and/or Cheney. In fact, I would go even further to say that we would have a lot more had they not done the work they did.

Now you guys talk about how Clinton did similar if not worse things (lots of renditions, targeted killings, etc.) than Bush. To mention now that maybe Bush and Cheney did the right thing to protect us does not excuse your insidious 8 years of attack journalism. Where was that even-handed good old real fair print journalism for the last 8 years!? You guys are pathetic. Almost all the news is editiorial today. I don't really know how you folks can sleep at night.

They made some very grave mistakes related to the ideologies behind their actions. All the bull in the world cannot erase the situation we are now in: economic ruin with expensive wars in progress and a tremendous amount of profit made by a few at the expense of the rest of the nation, at the expense of what our nation stands for, a loss of the strong standing we use to have in the world, the loss of an effective foreign relations, the loss of the governments position of protecting citizens from being taken advantage of by special interests and schemers run rampant with schems related to credit and investments and with special interests effecting government decisions to favor themselves via gaining favor via campaign contributions and offerings of benefits which are legally questionable, especially if the spirit of the law is considered important. We are in a great mess, internally and abroad, and it is not by coincidence. The terrorists have succeeded in manipulating our nation into ruining itself from within via our own extremism and lowering ourselves to the level of those who use violence to damage others and cause terror in others trying to effect desired results with little success and lots of violence and damage. It has been a horrible way to behave and has left us in a horrible situation. Would "Made off" please send me some of the precious jewels?

Asymmetric warfare calls for the cost effective approach(most banf for the buck). I'm getting tired of the myth that we haven't had an attack since 9/11. With over 4,000, killed and 30,000 wounded, along with 120,000 PTSD cases, terrorists haven't found it necessary to buy a ticket to come all the way over here when they can do more damage just walking out their front door. Bush/Cheney have proably gotten more of our best Americans killed than if they had not violated the Geneva Convention. Their faces are on all the terrorist recruiting posters and they have been quite effective at recruitment, even though Bush can't pronounce the word.

To WOW- I guess you didn't notice that we waterboard, they on the other hand decapitate. Basic philosophy? How about fairytale tale land!

All of these bloggers are blooming idiots (except me). They're radical, ignorant and abusive of their rights. And they can't spell, have bad grammar....I could go on and on, but I don't have enough time in my busy day...

i say you bring the troops and start fixing america and our problems first before we help other people!

I may not agree with everything Bush and Cheney did, but because of them I could go to sleep at night and feel safe.
I've felt less and less safe the closer it gets to Obama taking over.
I don't care what the government has to do to keep my way of life safe, that's what I pay tax's for.
I've never felt that I had to sleep with one eye opened and look over my shoulder all the time, but thats how I feel now with Obama taking over.
This country needs a leader that is not afraid to do what ever it is that has to be done to keep us safe.
Obama does not have that kind of track record.

The Emperor Has No Clothes. Red Ink and Red blood are his agenda, stated in advance, whitewashed and glorified by media lies. We are not a nation of two parties, especially two corrupt powermongering and warmongering parties. It is all illegal.

All of these bloggers are idiots (except me)

OMG, Obama hasn't even gotten into office and already he's being called a cowardly democrat by a good majority of you in this discussion board. For crying out loud, give him a break. Let's see what happens, then open the flappin jaw. If he doesn't do so great, fine, blab all you want, but just let the man do his job. Yes, newsweek got a little carried away with the Bush/Cheney bashing, but the main focus of the article is what Obama faces when coming into office. Like bush or not, support Obama or not, nothing matters now, whats done is done. Obama's going to be our next president and Bush did make a few mistakes as does every president. Why do we have to keep finger pointing and accusing democrats or accusing republicans?!?! Most of the registered democrats don't even agree with all the cookie cutter beliefs of true democrats anyway and vise versa with republicans. And just so you know and I am not a democrat nor a republican. I am an independent. So stop the bipartisain BS and start handling the problems this country is facing instead of complaining. Many of you have no grounds to bash until he gets a chance to either prove you right or prove you wrong, so until then Obama bashers...shut up!!!!!

The idea od not using harsh and inhumane treatment is to keep others from applying it to one of us when we are captured. There are countless ways to interrogate. 1. We will need a skilled interrogators. Not yes men. We don't have that with this administration.
