I know it's been asked about on DU lately, so thought I'd share.

10. Good to hear this. But will he act on it?
Edited on Sun Jan-27-08 04:38 PM by gg55
He can't be bothered with FISA so far.

5. Has Clinton said this?
I'd be surprised, I must say. Good for Obama and anyone else who's said this.

13. I'll give Hillary kudos for that...
I won't change my support for Obama, but you have to give credit where credit is due.

9. What's he going to do with them?
Is he simply going to release them? Release them in America? Release them in their homelands? Release them where they were arrested? Pay for it how? House and feed them? Pay for lawyers and trials? Pay suits for damages? How?

12. You're right
since it's too expensive to let them go, and who would pay for the transport? So, best to just let them rot, guilty or innocent.

19. You know I didn't say that.
And, as a taxpayer, I have a perfect right to ask who will be making these decisions, what decisions will be made, and how we will be paying for them.

15. Is he going to do anything about the very important FISA vote tomorrow?
hard to support someone who only tells us what he will do AFTER he is elected. He is in the senate now and needs to vote on this bill and get his endorsers on board, too.

20. If his coattails are long enough,
we won't have to worry about that.
