I couldn't help but speak out about Cheney's daughter who expressed her dissent against Obama releasing pictures of the U.S Militiary waterboarding (and any other deviant behavior they enacted). The article in today's CNN somehow equates Obama's actions as an equivalent to "siding" with the terrorists. What a joke.
The fact of the matter is we were wrong. And, inevitably, what is done in the dark must come to the light at some point anyway. So no Ms. Cheney, Obama merely is exposing folly that was intentionally done by our last administration. Perhaps viewing the video and pics of such atrocities can open our eyes to why this kind of behavior should never be condoned. Moreover, seeing is believing to a degree and upon me viewing the pics and videos, I was truly appalled. Even McCain asserted that waterboarding is inherently wrong. In addition, his experience of being tortured led him to the conclusion that you normally do not get accurate information from a detainee under such conditions.
Now, you want to get mad and say our president is siding with terrorists but the real terrorist was the govermental administration that allowed such actions to persist as well as the troops that committed such devilish acts.
If they were all for it then, we should be able to see it now. And that is exactly what is happening. I commend Obama for bringing to the light some of the horrors of of our last administration. Sometimes in order to correct things, you have to take a close look on what needs to be corrected. Wouldn't you agree?
