I surmise it is prudent for me to clarify the following comment is my opinion, based on the novel idea of having my eyes and ears open and functioning properly.

Obama wants to preserve the "Patriot Act." To go along with indefinite detention of human beings without charges....or reason.

Obama's relentless continuation of illegal and reprehensible CheneyCo policies invented and forced upon an already suspicious, violated and Bush-weary America is quite simply more proof that Obama is yet another "Company Man." The first problem with all this "terrorist" hogwash is if these people are not military combatants then why is the military even involved to begin with. If they are denied constitutional, military, treaty guaranteed basic rights, the military has no "right" or legal authority to kill, capture and throw them into black holes. Terrorists, hunting them down, capturing or killing them or any other action should be a civil authority action. If they are committing criminal, rather than military descriptive actions, our armed forces have no business or moral authority to combat them on a worldwide scale. An international police agency such as Interpol, in conjunction with our own FBI would seem like the proper agencies to conduct any enforcement actions against them. Having or seeking to aquire heretofore illegal, or in many cases invented, policies to be sanctioned by civil legalities is an oxymoron at best. Any basis, no matter how massively misconstrued by this government, is idiotic, dangerous, immoral and against all of humanities guiding principles. Even the description of them being "Terrorists" is debatable. But that's a whole 'nuther story.

For Obama and his gang to first preach the obvious (On the Senate Floor!); That these actions from the get go are illegal, counter productive and repugnant. Then in rapid-fire expedience repeatedly continue, embrace and vigorously defend those, even extend the scope, at first makes Obama an unapologetic liar. But even worse, makes it obvious he is not the honest, principled, constitutionally savvy person he professed (or pretended) to be.With each passing day Obama is proving himself to be a rather dark-hearted, conniving hypocrite. It would appear he is not the master of his Presidency but indeed being instructed in his policies by the same dark forces that have engineered our foreign policy for the past several decades. Not to mention banking policy, steady degradation of civil liberties and maybe even the policies, rules and regulations that are supposed to protect our health and well being.

I dare say no U.S. President, since JFK, would or could go against the now firmly entrenched "Military-Industrial Complex" that has without a doubt taken over the United States of America. With the willing complicity of an equaling corrupt Media mechanism, now conveiniently consolidated into the hands of a few dark-hearted mega corporations. The truth is actually far, far more insidious than military and corporate entities taking control. With the ultimate goal of intentionally infuriating an uncooperative Muslim people. Forcing them to fight to retain and regain what is rightfully theirs. Then destroying them as a formidable and final obstacle to unbelievable ends. The intentional unjust confrontation and eventual decimation of Islam has been going on for a very long time. They have, as a people, refused to fall in line with "The Program."

Even with planted dictators, being setup and blamed for the many of the orchestrated horrors that occur in the world, the Muslim people have bravely stood by their beliefs and way of life. This in spite of being repeatedly assaulted by powerful forces determined to have control and ownership of the world totally consolidated into the greedy, megalomaniacal hands of a predetermined few. Most of the people in the world have long ago been brainwashed into wrongly believing the Muslim nations and people are and have been responsible for much of the conflict and discord in the world. Nothing could be further from the truth. This could only be true if it is wrong to defend oneself from unjust aggression, theft of one's land and mass murder of one's people with virtually no attempt by the rest of the world to learn the truth or even care, for that matter.

As far as I can see, this is what is actually behind these "in your face" humiliations, false accusations and atrocities being hurled at Muslim nations. These kind of barbaric and inhuman detentions, invasions and theft of lands and treasures are by evil, meticulously thought out design. Mr. Obama is disappointingly just the latest in a continuation of infamous enablers for the hidden powers that are pulling the strings of their puppets. here and in other countries around the world. Trying their patience is the refusal by Muslims to be forcibly homogenized into part of the recipe.
