Finally got around to reading a little on this big Obama announcement last week. Thought it kind of strange, and a little curious about his motives. I find hard to believe that anyone would consider interrogations of suspected terrorist, only months after the 9/11 attack, wouldn't include some form of torture. Sounds pretty mild, compared to the beheading videos on the internet.
Anyway, the torture started int 2002, ended in 2005, and now being made public 4 years later. Is it to show the world, that Americans really are horrible, devious people? Like we aren't hated and mistrusted enough. I imagine the government is involved in much worse things. We have a lot of other problems domestically, and abroad, can't see how this is going to help. The bill for investigating and maybe prosecuting those involved is going to be quite high, doubt it will amount to much in the end.
I don't believe for a moment the the world leaders are going to view this as a positive thing, our new president is going to put an end to all the under-hand activities in America... Yeah, right, like every other government on the planet doesn't have their own little dirty secret projects. I think it shows a weakness, that we aren't going to do anything extreme, to protect ourselves in the future. I also believe it's a huge smoke-screen, to take our attention away from something big and painful coming soon. Wonder what he plans to slip past the American people, during this side-show act.
