Obama is closing Guantanamo bay as a populist manouvere. He doesn't oppose the use of torture or the designation of unlawful combatants, nor does he intented to close US torture chambers throughout the Middle East. He did not condemn the air strike into Pakistan that killed 37 innocent civilians, as he supports the breaching of the boarders of sovereign nations, just as he supports the bogus war on terror.
He condones murder and torture, he is no defender of human rights You fail to realize that he is a handpicked representitve of the ruling elite. The elections were a fraud, the US is not a functioning democracy, it is a criminal plutocracy. Obama is multimillionaired member of the plutocracy. he doesn't give a shit about the workers or human rights On Nov 11, 9:29 pm, "mike [move on] 532" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Obama Spells New Hope for Human Rightshttp://www.truthout.org/111008J > Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: "Celebrations of Barack Obama's election as > president of the United States erupted in countries around the world. > From Europe to Africa to the Middle East, people were jubilant.
