McClatchy also has new report on Gitmo, whole series--

http://www.mcclatchydc.com/detainees/This link is the home page for the series.

An eight-month McClatchy investigation of the detention system created after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks has found that the U.S. imprisoned innocent men, subjected them to abuse, stripped them of their legal rights and allowed Islamic militants to turn the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba into a school for jihad.

Here is the link for the Day One article.

Lots and lots of reading; lots and los of reasons for Obama to take a look backwards and make the mistakes of BushCo known. This cannot be repeated.

Damn, having him in the WH is almost more work than trying to fight BushBoy and Cheney. Since we had no hope of changing BushCo's objectives and tactics, we could analyze, memorialize. But we do have a responsibility to change (should that be capitalized?) Obama's rightward meanderings (unless, of course, their clear objectives for him...).

If he takes down the Dem Party, what will follow? That kind of unknowable makes working to change Obama's direction even more important.

We need to tell him that we're the Change that he's been waiting for.

He can start with full fledged investigations of Gitmo, torture, BushCo directives, etc.

Then single payer.... (Hey, I can dream, right?)

Actually

He can start with a much sooner shuttering of Gitmo than he's apparently planned while he's investigating Bush's abuses.

This is just sick.

But, we've always been at war with Eastasia...
