31. Barak Obama: War Criminal
Sorry, but it really needs to be said. And repeated. And repeated.

Because Turley's statement that "we're all complicit" is simply not truthful or effective enough. The same goes for "oh, it's the euphemedia" or worse, blaming the American People by unrealistically** expecting them to "rise up" and solve all woes.

We are also victims here -- of failed "leadership." This notion of "no appetite in the country" for impeachment and prosecution of torture and war crimes is http://journals.democraticunderground.com/Senator">just another rationalization for inaction by the perpetrators. It is they -- ALL Gov't Officials -- who are treaty-bound and oath-bound to ENFORCE the Constitution, the treaty obligations forged by our greater generations, and the rule of law (not merely mumble platitudes about "restoring" or "reasserting" things).

Our only moral, patriotic responsibility is to demand that they stop failing us and our once-great nation.

(**Note to Liberals: It's not about "knowing" or "teaching" stuff either. These activities are not DOING. There is no magic bit of information that, once learned or publicized, will "ignite a firestorm." This failed notion is merely our side's less direct form of irresponsibility and inaction.)
