The radical right wingnuts are going to be foaming at the mouth over this. They'll only see it as a sign of Obama siding with the terrorists.

I believe the Obama administration was responding to a court order based on a lawsuit.

He said he believes the memos should be released. That's all it takes for the crazies to elevate their conspiracy theories. Hell, they don't even need that much.

I will agree that I don't think it would take much for the right wing nut jobs to think that he is a terrorist. But, I don't see how this particular example would have people consider him to have terrorist ties.

I personally don't think that there was anything wrong with what he did, regardless of them being court ordered or not. I think that this was something that he did to show people the evil that went on and to show that we need to be able to learn about what happened as a way to make sure history doesn't repeat itself.

Yeah, it isn't like Obama's actually going to make sure that any of these torturers get prosecuted or anything. God forbid any government workers lose their jobs or anything.

"he needs every job he can to keep that 3.5 million promise, roscoe."

So, should he go after the unemployed? That would be Bush & Cheney, right?
