• WAR ON DRUGS, TERROR: Drug-War Assassinations now policy for suspected drug dealers in Afghanistan.
  "No arrests. No hearings. No attorneys. No judges. No trials. Just kill them."

  So now we're fighting TWO unwinnable wars (drugs, terror) in the same country? And assassinating people with robotic assassins (drone planes). This is getting more and more like The Terminator.

• TORTURE: CIA kept detainees alive to keep torturing them |
  "According to human rights lawyer John Sifton, the CIA tortured some of its detainees in the War on Terror so severely that it had to take measures to keep them alive so they could continue being tortured."

  And now Obama has made it so the freedom of information act doesn't apply to torture photos. If this happens again, we're less likely to find out thanks to Obama. Great.

  The military has already stopped reporting detainee deaths in Afghanistan and Iraq altogether — so there's basically a huge cover up. Close our eyes and don't think about what we're doing to a lot of innocent people.
