Quote from Mercor:
This Obama release is our president shitting on the USA. Cheap shots to make him look good. Obama takes internal memo's spins them to slam the previous President. Very tacky and not necessary.
We all know what happen, it is old news.
This only makes you feel good if you hate Bush.
Once again, you prove how much of a "pea-brained" ignoramous you are.
There was no "spin" as you say whatsoever.
Moreover, Obama pussied out and gave the people that sanctioned the trampling of our U.S. Constitution a "get out of jail free" card.
The evidence from these memos is very clear. What was clear is that there was an assault on the U.S. Constitution that gave the government a free pass to torture not just enemy combatants, but also in principle American citizens via the FBI.
It was a broad-based philosophy by a corrupt DOJ and Administration that allowed the government to also spy on U.S. citizens.

The end result was an Administration that had absolutely ZERO respect for the United States Constitution.
You say that WE ALL KNOW what happened, but you are a fool if you actually believe that.
You don't know jack.
Bush said that we don't torture.
He also said that we don't spy on American citizens. Cheney said the same thing; with Navy general counsel Alberto Mora adding that international law defined cruelty as "the imposition of severe physical or mental pain or suffering; torture is an extreme version of cruelty which we don't engage in. Secretary of State, Colin Powell conveniently remarked that he "did not know that torture was being authorized."
Yeah, right buddy.
LIARS, all of them.
All of you "neo-cons" bitch and moan about how "big" government is becoming under the Obama Administration's ambitious plans for health-care, energy, banking regulation, etc., and how obtrusive it will be in our lives . . . yet you didn't seem to have ANY problem whatsoever when the CIA and FBI were trampling all over the Constitution under Bush/Cheney.
Congratulations.
You just showed how much of a hypocrite you are again. You seem to do that really well. You also sound like the kind of guy that would have enjoyed living in "East Germany" during the 60's and 70's.
