Sadly it hasn't taken too long for Obama and his second coming to start disappointing me - his stance a few weeks ago that state-sanctioned torture was immoral and illegal seemed good except for the fact he followed it up by saying that those who carried out such illegal torture (and by extension those in power who sanctioned it) shouldn't be prosecuted. Because you know, it was awful, illegal and immoral, but hey, no point in making a fuss over it, eh? And anyway, they were only following orders (I believe that's the standard excuse of such bastards in any regime who happily carry out illegal orders). So much for Obama and his moral compass. Now, after lambasting Bush's dreadful trampling all over the very principles Western democractic free societies are built on by adjusting laws that should never be adjusted or altered or removed Arsehole Obama's setting up to do exactly the bloody same. Change you can believe in? What change? Change of face, same immoral, illegal shit from the sounds of it. What a surprise. (link via Boing Boing)
