Thank you for that, **'toon**. You should totally dust off your crew pass for GMA, sneak onto the set, and the next time a Deather gets a soapbox, turn the camera on yourself and deliver that. ---

In the OP I especially like the part about Obama keeping a poker face while all this was going down. I am Baker, and I approve of this rant. ---

I always asked myself what would have to happen for me to decide the USA. I would have a real hard time staying if Sarah was elected. Then there’s Donald Trumph… ---

[QUOTE=Sailboat] The thing is, I’m sure (and I expect everyone else is too) she had an alternate criticism prepared if he’d released the photos. The important thing is to criticize the “other side.” [/quote] Sarah Palin doesn’t even have a position on an issue until Obama makes his known. ---

Or, they trot out the latest crap that the only reason Osama was caught was that the good old Republicans tortured the hell out of (ahem sorry, used “enhanced interrogation techniques” on) Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. Trouble is, that claim is bullshit. Made up. Incorrect. Wrong. Don’t just believe me though. You could maybe believe a [Republican Senator](http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/post/john-mccain-to-bush-apologists-stop-lying-about-bin-laden-and-torture/2011/03/03/AF10AnzG_blog.html) who was told by the staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee: > [@](#): > > the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee — information describing Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti’s real role in Al-Qaeda and his true relationship to Osama bin Laden — was obtained through standard, non-coercive means, not through any ‘enhanced interrogation technique.’ This crazed leftist goes on to say: > [@](#): > > “In short, it was not torture or cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees that got us the major leads that ultimately enabled our intelligence community to find Osama bin Laden. I hope former Attorney General Mukasey will correct his misstatement. It’s important that he do so because we are again engaged in this important debate, with much at stake for America’s security and reputation. Each side should make its own case, but do so\*\* without making up its own facts. \*\* (bolding mine) ---
