Is National Security Strife Another Bad Sign for Obama?

Spies are not protected by the Geneva Convention. During war time, when caught, they are tortured to death to obtain information or executed.
Terrorists are also not mentioned in the Geneva Convention. They do not represent a government. They do not wear a military uniform. They do not represent a nation. There are no laws in any country dealing with the so-called rights of terrorists. Therefore, when caught, they can be treated in the same way as spies. If that was done with all the detainees right from the beginning, there would not have been a torture issue.
Three thousand people were tortured to death in the World Trade Center by terrorists. Why exempt these terrorists, if caught alive, from the same fate?
Considering the fact that we have already a Communist in the White House advising the President and what is going on at present in the Justice Department, it is not far-fetched that one might conclude that an Al-Qaeda mole has penetrated that department to wreck the C.I.A.

American government sound so stupid with the witch hunt in the CIA: the message is I love the terrorists more than you CIA agents. Terrorists cut off Americans' head, who will dig into it? I hope they cut off your head too, or blow you into pieces, then we'll talk about how we should interrogate them. Obama Administration - you are a laughing stock of the world.

If I remember right obama said "it is time to move foreword" or something like that it is other democrats that do not want cheyne the torturer to go free. All of this digging for dirt will rub off on you, I know I worked for the forest service for awhile.
AS I see it the Democrats have a plan, The republicans like it the way it is,
What is important is that you tell your politicians what you think. I have typed it for days but I do not Know if it is doing any good. If health care go through without the peoples input it will not work but then the people have separated themselves from the politicians and complain among themselves so that the politicians cannot hear them. we do not want to side with big business or small business or with special interest groups that work for them . But we need to start a grass roots group with educators professors, farmers, scientist and regular people so all will be represented and we need these groups to start all over America and stay in contact with one another and the government.

If the government is allowed to go on a witch hunt attempting to imprison the people who truly risk their lives for our safety and sovereignty, well God help us all. I hope that the men and women of the intel world know that there are still some people who appreciate all that they do, all that they give up and all that they risk for us. I hope that if these witch hunts do actually begin and ops are thrown under the bus, all agents in the intel world should stop doing their job for a while. Maybe then they will be appreciated and treated with the respect and dignity they deserve.

We have had 8 years of the Bush administration , and no body had a problem with it. Now ! that the president has inherited a myraid of issues and problems he is suppose to be perfect. I don't think so. Give him an opportunity to take one thing at a time. Health care is aways been a issue, however nobody wanted to touch it , until now. Something is better than business as usual. We working poor or getteing poorer to say the least. At the end of the day , he is the preident of the USA. Now!!!!!!!!
