Thanks, Shane. This is outrageous. Coincidentally there was an article yesterday at Znet by by Shamus Cooke on Obama's continuing defense of torture: http://www.zcommunications.org/znet/viewArticle/23733 Cooke does a great job detailing Obama's crimes and rationalizations. I have to add, though, that unfortunately the last three paragraphs are just a sloppily tacked-on propagandistic denunciation of the system that breeds torture and war, with no transition or connection that I can see. He could have, with a little creative thought, explained how and why a capitalist system breeds criminality by the rulers and ruled at home and abroad, and the overlap between "normal" and "criminal" behavior in such a system (the reverse side of which was displayed in Rebecca Solnit's correct defense of "looting" in Haiti).
