Obama is doing almost the same contestable things as Bush, but where is the outcry?
President Obama has essentially continued almost every major Bush security policy, either by default or design. State secrets, targeted killings, renditions and indefinite detention, opposing the right of habeas corpus, preventing victims of admitted torture from seeking judicial redress, expanding the Afghan war while moving - however gingerly - to secure a long-term presence in Iraq
he fact that Obama's defense spending from the start outstripped his Republican predecessor's, even though his campaign reached national prominence precisely with his pledge to end the war in Iraq, which should logically have meant a major reduction in the military budget.
Ordering the assassination of a US citizen without due process,
Will his next campaign slogan be "Guantanamo Forever!
