Obama Loves Democracy
Today’s Supreme Court decision ensures that we can protect our nation and bring terrorists to justice, while also protecting our core values.
The Court’s decision is a rejection of the Bush Administration’s attempt to create a legal black hole at Guantanamo - yet another failed policy supported by John McCain.

My friends, that’s not treason.
But this is insanity!
FREE TENDAI BITI! FREE TENDAI BITI!
