Obama Action
Closing of Guantanomo, suspension of trials; this has many on the right seeing the unmasking of Obama as a "radical leftist" without regard for "the safety of our nation". The times are changing, and Obama is poised and decisive , offering no apologies. Europe on the whole is pleased with this first move. The trail of Omar Khadr, arrested at age 15 for attacking a US soldier with a grenade, has been suspended. This marks a closing of the Bush/Chenery era, and a shift toward concern for human rights. For the left, progress. To the right, betrayal and treason.

Yes, and of course, here in Australia we have David Hicks who was imprisoned there for 6 years with no trial for briefly experimenting with a Muslim-based group. Interviews show him to be a broken young man. A whole host of atrocities have been perpetuated with him and with others, and the powers-that -be have kept them from us. We are all in this together and a great leader is an awesome change.
