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)

Hypocritical bastard
George Bush asked in a BBC interview if America still held the moral high ground after scandals of violated civil liberties, civilian deaths, tortures and Abu Ghraib: "Absolutely. We believe in human rights and human dignity. We believe in the human condition. We believe in freedom." This from a man who is trying to veto a bill from the US Senate (how very democratic of him) which makes the use of water boarding illegal for the purposes of interrogation. In other words he is trying to make the use of torture legal. How this fits in with his previous statement is beyond me. How this retarded monkey can say things like this then apparently believe he is on the side of Good is beyond me. And just how so many fucking idiots can go along with it, vote for it and support it is utterly beyond me.
The fact that the Senate had to even pass a law declaring this process illegal to begin with speaks volumes - most civilised countries would consider such torture utterly illegal to begin with and not need to pass extra laws. This is how the self proclaimed good guys fight the good fight. No wonder the world is such a bloody mess. Neitzche's cautionary passages on fighting monsters and becoming a monster in the process was obviously not on the reading curriculum for Bush or his supporters. Although since the brain-dead numpty seems to have difficulties with the fairly simple task of putting words together for coherent speech it shouldn't be a surprise that he isn't well educated or well read.

Gitmo is six
I missed noticing this until today, but Guantanamo Bay's odious prison camp marked its sixth anniversary on Friday, an event marked by Amnesty International. Gee, I feel so much safer, hasn't the world become a much better place as a result of this place and the rest of Bush's foreign policy (not to mention their State Department announcing that under US law it is legal for them to go to another country, including Britain and kidnap someone they think is a suspect)? If only Gitmo made as much sense as most six year olds... (via Boing Boing)
