Is it just me, or is the press opposed to closing Gitmo/stopping torture...

Why don't they just come right out and ask if Obama wants to destroy America?

Have these reporters actually seen a copy of the Constitution?

What was with the reporter at the beginning who basically asked, "You say that the President signed an executive order making the army field manual the standard for any interrogations, why does it sound like what you're really saying is that the army field manual will only be followed when you chose too?"

10. They have a severe case of the imaginaries.... they know what
should be done, more so than the people who actually have a brain who are making these decisions.

8. Maybe they're worried that Bush is still tapping their phones,
blackberries, (or is it "blackberrys" since its a brand name?) intercepting their emails and bugging their hand held tape recorders?
