"....This is not about keeping secrets safe. It's about controlling what the public can hear and not hear, so the repressive apparatus of the state can be allowed to function without public scrutiny or public control.
What will the followers of Obama do now? Will they sell out the most wretched and cruelly tortured for the feel-good vibes of the moment? Or will they hold their candidate to account?"
Webercom: Although I generally supported the Bush Adm. on terror policy, rendition is wrong. If we're not willing to do it, don't outsource it. And closing Gitmo is the right call, IF we create a new national security judicial system that tries and imprisons those who the government deems a continuing danger to the United States. Gitmo was the right idea for its time, but the media and the Left have won the perception battle..if not here, certainly overseas.
There are times that the Right in this country needs to accept defeat in the perception battle and shift tactics...Gitmo is one of those issues.
