Obama: U.S. 'crossed a line,' tortured after 9/11 - CNN.com

(CNN) -- President Barack Obama acknowledged Friday that the United States "crossed a line" and tortured al Qaeda detainees after the 9/11 terror attacks.
The comments at a White House news conference were the President's strongest on the controversial subject since he came into office denouncing what he described as the Bush years of torturing alleged terrorists, also known as "enhanced interrogation."
"When we engaged in some of these enhanced interrogation techniques, techniques that I believe and I think any fair-minded person would believe were torture, we crossed a line," Obama said. "And that needs to be ... understood and accepted. And we have to, as a country, take responsibility for that so that hopefully we don't do it again in the future."

About time our country stopped covering for the abuses of Bush/Cheney

As far as Obama is concerned, he should join him there. How many lines has he crossed, perchance?

 

[Rozman]

Geez....this again?

Bammy is a total fuck up, the World is falling apart so he has to bring up Bush again.

Obama wouldn't recognize one if they bit him.

I believe he was more in the affirmation mood than that, I do believe that Oblama fingered Bush....

Bammy is a total fuck up, the World is falling apart so he has to bring up Bush again.

He is insecure about his leadership.
He needs to build himself up by trashing Bush...

It's to be expected from this guy.

It really is, it is a classic psychological tell.

Republicans are the party of torture after all

They actually celebrate it

 

[The Rabbi]

SO why isnt Obama prosecuting Bush era aides who advocated that policy? Torture is illegal, remember?

Other than sociopaths (who exist in both parties) I don't think anyone "celebrates" it. But I can tell you quite honestly, that if someone kidnapped my little girl and I knew he knew where she was I would make him suffer till he told me where she was.

Anyone who says different in a similar situation is a flat out liar.

I wish bush would stop playing Jesus and just tell Obabble to go fuck himself. Slavery ended long ago...treat him like he is one of us.

Obama is a pussy, so are the Dems

Afraid to stir up the ghosts of the past

If he's afraid to stir up the ghosts of the past why is he rehashing something from 7 years ago?


You're not very good at this, are you Nutgrabber?

Hopefully Obama won't do it again in the future. Last 6 years? OK. But not in the future.

Hopefully.

I live in Bellevue Nebraska, but I travel a lot.

Where do you live?

I'll submit to water boarding,will you?

 

[Rozman]

Maybe time to put up or shut up...

Somebody should have thrown Bush II under a bus in 2000, the US would be 2 trillion plus richer, and thousands of Americans would still be alive.

Ford pardoned Nixon, which was a mistake and no president has prosecuted his predecessor since. I don't recall any president doing it before that either.

Nobody has done anything remotely like what Nixon did, there has been NO reason to pardon anyone else.
