Jon Stewart lays the smack down on Obama and exposes all the promises he hasn't kept

[sgreger1]

Watched a B movie last night called "The Experiment". In one scene they are using the water torture deal.
I cannot imagine what some of those detainees have gone through who are still in that Gulag.
Either kill them or jail them but this torture deal close to a decade needs to stop.

I still don't consider waterboarding torture, but either way that's irrelivent. We are talking about hardcore, REAL torture. Like for example, the Obama admin just used the states secrets privaledge to deny a trial due to "national security" for a gentleman who was scooped up and renditioned around the world for years, with people brutally torturing him from several different countries, taking razor blades to his ball sack (literally), and then he eventually ended up in gitmo. He was eventually assumed innocent and released back home. Now he is trying to take the country to court that stole 5 years of hise life and put him on a worldwide torture tour, and Obama says "No, you can't have a trial. Not yours......"


I'm willign to vote for whoever will take Bush and Obama to court and make sure to it that they recieve the death sentence.




Edit: And as far as closing Gitmo and giving trials to the people who have been there for nearly 10 years, that is not going to happen. The Obama admin officially has stalled that process and does not plan to take it up in the forseable future according to democrat senators. Gitmo will remain open for his entire term and those men will not recieve a trial. (Oh, and torture is still legal, so sucks for them)

Hey, now we can add another to the "promises kept" folder!

I am still very upset that he is pulling a Bush and allowing torture, yet not allowing anyone to have their day in court, using his executive privaledge of "states secrets" to block trials so that no one can ever recieve justice. Wasn't this like a focal point of his campaign, the whole end torture/close gitmo thing?

He's worse than Jimmy Carter.

He made a new promise as well:

"I will erode civil rights and due process."
