Obama Administration Hard on "News Leaks" But Soft on George Bush crimes.

The above link is about how the Obama Administration has been very hard on "news leaks" It is making the rounds with much comment.
My comment is simple and is, "If the Obama administration has the time and money to be hard on " news leaks", then perhaps it should take some of that time and money to prosecute someone who admits to "waterboarding" and other torture techniques to force confessions. And also says "I'd do it again."

4. The administration is also 'hard on'
Edited on Sat Jun-12-10 04:19 PM by sabrina 1
radical clerics whose words are anti-American. Not so 'hard on' BP whose actions have actually killed 26 Americans so far and wounded over one hundred others. Not to mention the massive economic and environmental destruction of this country they are responsible for.

Any logical person would conclude that BP's actions and the results of them are a far bigger threat to our national security than the rhetoric of a radical Muslim preacher whose only crime so far as we know, is the uttering of words which, no matter how hateful, are protected since he is a U.S. citizen under our Constitution.

Yet an assassination order has been approved for this preacher, while we are told that the U.S. government is powerless to do anything about BP, because according to WH Press Sec. Gibbs, 'they are a private corporation'.

Maybe Muslim preachers should incorporate?

5. But he is soft on Oil Leaks, so it all depends which kinda
leaks we are considering.

The only person Obama has put in charge of things that makes me more nauseous than Rahm is good Ol' Thad Allen.

11. As I read earlier today, the mask is coming off.
It will be amusing to watch the usual suspects twist & squirm as we descend into the future.
