"Waterboarding is not the only Bush-era practice that is undergoing a reevaluation. The Obama administration vowed to close the military prison at Guantanamo. Yet, over two years into the Obama presidency, it still exists. Candidate Obama inveighed against targeted assassinations. And yet, President Obama has conducted them with relish, the execution of Bin Laden just being the latest example.

It all seems to be a case of rhetoric colliding with reality. Or perhaps it is an example of Obama growing in office. Whatever the case, it looks like waterboarding is a form a torture that is against American values, unless it leads to a victory in the War on Terror that benefits the president's poll numbers. Such are the ironies of politics."


You guys are confusing me...... I thought you were against waterboarding.....like McCain....who is also against waterboarding.

It seems the President can't make up his mind.....
