So only police torture can be used on American citizens accused of crimes, to get confessions and information.
But never, never use torture on a terrorist because they have constitutional rights.
Odooma hates Americans.
Why is it that IMPORTANT news like this has to be found out about via the UK’s media!? {Not disrespecting British journalism, but rather utterly disgusted at our domestic press.}
This is also disturbing. Especially in light a some recent encounter I’ve had with the law, and several more regarding government in general.
Imagine if GWB had tried to do this.
The story is from the UK. The only US media hits I get on this story are from the Detroit area. Nothing from national MSM.
My God we need the British to tell us what’s happening to our own civil rights in this country. I know the MSM is in the tank and all but this is just embarrassing. Redcoats defending US civil rights. What’s next, the French defending us from Mexico?
Oh Boy...this is not good. Every day is more bad news. It’s getting harder and harder to deny that there are evil plans in store for this country, being formulated at the very highest levels of our government. The 2nd amendment and our honorable military are all that’s holding it in check at this point.
Sounds like obama plans on tromping all over civil rights. I can’t think that the majority of librocrats who voted for him will be very happy about this. I also expect them to bite their tongues and not say much about it. Cause they can’t think themselves to be smarter then everyone else in the world and then turn around and admit to having been wrong in voting for him.
What’s that saying? Pride goith before the fall? In this case I think they’re already falling but their pride is keeping them quiet.
I just wonder how much we’ll all have to suffer under obama before they give up their pride and admit they made a mistake.
I’m hoping regular democrats will join republicans and use 2010 to take away obama’s blank check and vote conservative.
hmmm...interesting.
I cannot believe we have to learn about this idiocy and frightening agenda through the UK press. I know the press here is abysmal and slanted, biased, etc., but COME ON!!!
I am thinking that the tinfoil folks talking about the camps may be true.
I have suspicion that we're going to be hearing those words often from this administration regarding our laws and Constitution.
Bump for exposure
Thanks for posting this important story!
Here’s the AP’s long version

Obama legal team wants to limit defendants’ rights
By MARK SHERMAN – 1 day ago
But the protection offered by the court in Stevens’ 1986 opinion is especially important for vulnerable defendants, including the mentally and developmentally disabled, addicts, juveniles and the poor, the lawyers said.
obuma and his fascist thugs don’t obey the law anyway. They’ll make it up as they go along. We’re heading for anarchy where “law” will be decided by who shoots fastest and most accurate.
Strange.....now that Obama’s in office. One should doubt that this administration wants to get tougher on rapists, murderers thieves et al. The ulterior motive is probably political ie members of the opposition.
The proverbial tree falling in the forest question, can you put someone in a concentration camp if no one knows they are there.
It's the Obama way...
Pinged for later reading.
FUBO
And why does the Obama administration believe they have the right to urge the US Supreme Court to do anything?
They are fully aware we have separation of powers in this country. The frightening thing is that they are ignoring that truth.
They have the executive branch and the legislature. Now they wants the judiciary. Remember, he’s also going after the circuit JUDGE who gave an opinion on enhanced interrogation methods.
