If this was Bush doing this, the left would be screaming from the rooftops. Where are they now, too afraid to criticize their God?

Obama said....”As a parent, I can also imagine the terror I would feel if one of my family members were rounded up in the middle of the night and sent to Guantanamo without even getting one chance to ask why they were being held and being able to prove their innocence. . .” while speaking about the military commissions act.

Since it (the habeas denial in the Act) only applied to non-citizens, I can see why he might be concerned.

It was all politics then and it's all politics now.

Obama’s NSA eavesdropping goes beyond that of Bush... after campaigning on the promise of: “ No warrantless wiretaps if you elect me!”

http://news.cnet.com/8301-10784_3-9845595-7.html

headlines read:” NSA Exceeds Legal Limits In Eavesdropping Program” , “ U.S. phone intercepts go beyond legal limits” , and “NSA Found Improperly Spying on Americans”.
