I am afraid that you are correct. The demise of our great country is coming from within – at the highest ranks by our Commander and Cheif. I respect the Presidency but I by no means respect the man that holds that position today. Hopefully there will be something left of our country and in 4 years we can correct the mistake that is in office now.

The constitution seems to mean nothing to him and he is leading us to socialism.

President Obama is effectively tying the hands of the CIA to obtain information that could be vital to saving American lives. I am tired of this president's lack of respect for our history, he seems to think that if he does this and that then our enemy's will like him and all will be right with the world. This president scares me in his lack of forsite and knowledge. He mandates actions that I believe are going to put our country and our safety at risk.

When we are attcaked again by terrorist on our soil or abroad because of Obama;s reckless and stupid actions, we have no one to blame but Obama and Democrats. Although we respect the presidency, Obama has really gone out his ways to appear anyone or groups including terrorist organizations and the US's adversaries, who despise America and American people, as well as our constitution and ways of life. Since he was moved into the White House, he has unilaterally abandoned all ant-terrorist programs, given up all preventive and safeguard policies, appeasing to anti-American Muslims and Europeans, and accusing our brave men and women in uniforms of terrorist acts. What else he can not do. man, this only the first 100 days!

My hat is off to the Obama administration for restoring American values in the system of justice, and eliminating torture as a means of interrogation of any terrorist, be he foreign or domestic. After all, we tried Timothy McVeigh, didn't we?

But, what remains to be done, is to bring those civil servants to trial for the war crimes they have committed. Now, I am not referring to CIA officers who merely carried out instructions, but to those senior Bush administration officials that granted permission to TORTURE, which is an international war crime, which should not just be swept under the rug. I am talking about Addington, Yoo, Rove, Cheney, and any other senior officials who took part in this clear violation of international law and the Geneva Convention. Those who are lawyers, like John Yoo, should be disbarred, and along with the others should be criminally charged.

Should we have to depend on another country, such as Spain, to enforce international law for us? This would add shame upon shame. Our country deserves better, and 9-11 was not an excuse to throw all the inconvenient laws and international treaties aside. We have to set a new precedent, a precedent of justice and fairness.
