Barack Obama News favorited my retweet

regarding Chelsea Manning's Op-Ed.
Here is the article The CIA's Torturers and the Leaders Who Approved Their Actions Must Face the Law. Was also published in the Guardian and with Tom Dispatch.

Torture and the mistreatment of detainees in the custody of intelligence personnel is, was and shall continue to be unethical and morally wrong. Under US law, torture and mistreatment of detainees is also very illegal. Even the most junior level intelligence officials know that this is, and has been, the case for decades. US torture programs were authorized at the highest levels of government knowingly violating US law.

So, whoever reads or tweets for Barack Obama News doesn't read the Guardian? That would be funny.

Heh, not a diary, but just had to share my amazement ... Smile

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. - Friedrich Nietzsche -

Why should I watch my back? If it really takes a news/twitter reader's retweets for President Obama to get to know an Op-Ed written by Chelsea Manning, I helped President Obama to "get the news". So, I think, I was useful to him in my actions and I can look him straight in the eye and be safe. Right?

Obama needs Hillary to win the next election; she's the only one he can count on that won't hold him accountable for his inhumane practices. He had Bush's back; and so the game continues.

Thanks for having the courage to tell the truth.
