The erosion of American’s Civil Liberties under the Bush Administration was significant. The passing of the Patriot Acts, War Commissions Act, The John Warner Nation Defense Authorization Act and various Presidential Directives has restricted our movements and liberties.
President Obama was elected to bring change. Has he?
Candidate Obama’s first major issue he used very successfully against Hillary Clinton was the war in Iraq. He argued that her vote was a mistake and we should have never gone. Also, he would bring the troops home once elected.
A position very popular with Liberals and the Ron Paul Conservatives. President Obama announced that troops would be reduced in Iraq. However, he isn’t bringing them home as quickly as he campaigned for. He will move a lot of these troops into Afghanistan. Also, we will keep a force of 50,000 troops in Iraq until 2011. (Hmm, a year before reelection.)
There are blind Liberals who are amendable to this because this is Obama not Bush. Obama will save us! How Cow, Batman, It is Obama! He will defeat that Joker Bush! These folks are just as blind as the Neo Cons who thought and still think Bush did no wrong.
Funny how the Neo Cons are supporting Obama here. Who would have thought that?
President Obama announced he will close Guantanamo Bay within a year. Okay, will he say that again in a year? Interestingly according to the New York Times (Hardly a Conservative Rag), “the new administration will aggressively defend its ability to hold some detainees there.”
The same article also said that Obama Administration lawyers wrote, “The president has the authority to detain persons”. I have a question… What about Due Process?
The article from the NY Times continues:
In their court filing, Justice Department lawyers repeatedly cited the international law of war and its principle that “capture and detention of enemy forces” is authorized. But the filing made it clear that the Obama administration rejected arguments of detainees’ lawyers that it should sharply depart from many policies of the last seven years.
Again, I ask… What about Due Process?
