Serving time in a Turkish jail will not be fun.

Obama probably ordered him to be tortured.

Be serious, it was Bush who enjoyed torturing people who hadn't even been charged, Obama was and is against it.

I did notice when Obama was in Turkey there was a one gun salute and Obama jumped.

The president enjoyed it? Really. He agree with those in the department of homeland security and the military that aggressive interrogation was needed to protect the country, but how does one make the leap from that to enjoyment....

I'm not an Obama supporter but I do support the office of the President.

Doesn't matter who our president is, there will be at least 50 crazed groups or individuals who are probably planning his death.

Hopefully the secret service, FBI and military does their job and is able to put it all down. We don't need another JFK,

"Agressive interrogation - torture - can never be justified to "protect the country". To do so is to keep your property and lose your soul.

If this would have stopped Sept 11 and your son was in the towers, would you feel the same way ?

If it would have, I could live with the results.
