I think all the vile things and the lies that Repub's have said about Obama has weakened our country.

If those methods were actually legitimate and reasonable, there would be no need to keep them secret.

Incompetence can be dangerous. McCain simply is.

So You Stay Quiet, I will Not. Get some principles and morals before you wrap the Flag around you, right now what you represent and what the Flag represents do not agree.

We could arrest him before he did more harm, that was not true of terrorists living among other terrorists in another country. You were saying?

No, it bloody well isn't.

Obama fails repeatedly in this duty by bashing and criticizing the country instead of speaking to why we are the best country in the world. He did it again with these remarks on torture.
"But you know as well as I, patriotism is a word; and one that generally comes to mean either my country, right or wrong, which is infamous, or my country is always right, which is imbecile."

If you believe they are dangerous you can still grant them a trial.

When we expose our flaws, we show the world that we are strong enough and honest enough and honorable enough to expose ourselves. Fear is what drives people to "STAY QUIET". Americans are not driven by fear. And we don't torture our enemies. Torture is for people who are driven by fear. Americans are not driven by fear.

The report was about to be released - get it? So, YES, it is his place to divulge before it's 'divulged' by other people.

Is this another conservative I hear screaming for impeachment? Go for it.
