Danger Man
Whether you agree with Obama’s decisions or not, this seems a bit over the top:
The CIA program he is effectively shutting down is the reason why America has not been attacked again after 9/11. He has removed the tool that is singularly responsible for stopping al-Qaeda from flying planes into the Library Tower in Los Angeles, Heathrow Airport, and London’s Canary Warf, and blowing up apartment buildings in Chicago, among other plots. It’s not even the end of inauguration week, and Obama is already proving to be the most dangerous man ever to occupy the Oval Office.
Naive and irresponsible? You could argue that (and I’ll disagree), but please, can we stop with the fear mongering about how he’s going to destroy Amurka by surrendering us to the terrists?

More than Bush and his staff did before instituting the program, that is for sure.
Also, anytime someone says we haven’t been attacked since 9/11, kick them in the junk for me, will you please? The anthrax attacks and the beltway sniper come to mind. And as far as “keeping America safe” the men and women in our armed services who have died (>1000 more than died in the 9/11 attacks) in an optional war which has made us less safe by giving AlQ the ultimate recruiting tool.

How quickly they soured us on their ideology, huh?

Miguelito: Not exactly sure what happened, but after a couple years on his own once he finished college and his tune changed. I think some of it was that his dad wasn’t there to fill his head with crap every day (union official) once he moved out of town. I'm guessing…

HARLEY: The differences between a government and a criminal cartel are generally pretty slight. They generally have more guns and the "moral right" to use them.

HARLEY: The miracle of the 1940s? You mean a World War that killed millions of people, and set the stage for even more global carnage in the post-colonial Third World? If this was true then when we should have gone into a boomtime with the Iraq and Afgan wars.

HeartlessLibertarian: Note the middle paragraph, in which Perez is essentially using the power of government to blackmail his targets into donating to “qualified organizations” (a tactic that started under the last Administration). Rather instructive how the government has adopted the same tactics the Mafia uses, isn't it? And yet some people…

I wonder how much thought and research he and his staff did, before deciding on this course of action.
