So Americans are colluding with a criminal regime. We have become an outlaw nation — a clear and present danger to international law and global stability — among civilized countries that have been our allies. We are — rightly — on Canada’s list of rogue nations that torture.
Europe is still high from Barack Obama’s recent visit. Many Americans, too, hope that an Obama victory in November will roll back this nightmare. But this is no time to yield to delusions. Even if Obama wins, he may well be a radically weakened president. The Bush administration has created a transnational apparatus of lawlessness that he alone, without global intervention, can neither roll back nor control.
Private security firms — for example, Blackwater — will still be operating, accountable neither to him nor to Congress, and not bound, they have argued, by international treaties. Weapons manufacturers and the telecommunications industry, with billions at stake in maintaining a hyped “war on terror” and their new global surveillance market, will deploy a lavishly financed army of lobbyists to defend their interests.

What a hysterical article! She’s downright loopy. Blackwater’s under her bed, taping her calls and drugging her tap water. What a freaking loon.

She also cites that "torture tape" of a whinging al Qaeda terrorist, who they always label a “Canadian minor.” First off, he’s spent almost his whole life in the terrorist hotbeds in the middle east, not Canada, and was captured on the battlefield after he threw the grenade that killed a US soldier. And his “torture video” was laughable. He was basically sobbing and saying that some unnamed evil guys took his eyes and his feet, while the (Canadian, btw) interrogators patiently explain to him that his eyes are still in his head and are working fine and his feet are right at the ends of his legs, where they always were. Then when they offer him some water, he waves his arms around screaming “I can’t move my arms!”

The whole video is like a SNL skit, that could only make screaming moonbat looneys like Naomi uncomfortable. Maybe if the Canadian interrogators wore earthtone outfits, deep-thinking Naomi would feel better.

It is MIND-boggling how many Jews are cynical about America being the greatest country and are in Obama's camp. However, several of my Jewish friends who usually vote demonrat are all for McCain at this point.

An outlaw America is a global problem that threatens the rest of the international community. If this regime gets away with flouting international law, what is to prevent the next administration — or this administration, continuing under its secret succession plan in the event of an emergency — from going further and targeting its political opponents at home and abroad?

Boy, she is all-the-way-gone, worrying about the Bush Administration refusing to turn over the government to the next Administration and going on a global assassination purge of all enemies.

I'm sure she's seeing multiple therapists, but I wonder about the efficacy of the particular anti-depressant, anti-schizophrenia, anti-whatever pharamaceutical cocktail they have her on.

Double the dose on everything and make her stop washing it down with vodka.

Always keep in mind that her views reflect the majority opinion of the American sheep.

“Even if Obama wins, he may well be a radically weakened president.”

LOL. Obama is a puppet controlled by senior democrats. Does anyone honestly think he got where he is without his liberal handlers? He has zero power on his own.

Leftists are too funny! Just because they think international law should exist they carry on with the delusion that it does.

I should develop this power. Just make something up in my head and proceed through my every day life as though it has magically become reality.

I think ice cream should be free. I’m going to go get mine from Kroger right now!

Apparently Naomi’s Ivy League education never included world history

Especially Germany in the 1930’s- which she only felt compelled to read after she wrote her Bush-is-a-Nazi bashing book.

In her selective review of world despotism, she doesn’t comment on Stalin or Mao. Yet these are the societies she calls on when she asks ‘the world” to attack America?
Believe me bubbala, they are trying.

At least Shep Smith on Fox News tore her a new one

From wikipedia: "In 2006, the Sunday Herald carried an interview in which Wolf claimed to have taken on the spirit of a 13-year-old boy and saw Jesus Christ.[2] The paper called her comments "more than a little disturbing," and Salon magazine called the confession "truly outlandish."[3]"

So not only is she a pinko fool, she's outright nuts.

Indeed. Short memories are part of the problem.

The scary thing is, this total nutjob was advising another nutjob, Gore, and he came way too close to being POTUS.

Is it possible to fall out of love with your own country? For two years, I, like many Americans, have been focused intently on documenting, exposing, and alerting the nation to the Bush administration’s criminality and its assault on the Constitution and the rule of law...

Hey Naomi. Ponder this nightmare scenario.

McCain is just playing with Obama like a cat with a mouse.
