  1. #1    This "law" is an admission of guilt by everyone who voted for or signed it.

  2. #2    Absolute censorship of information the public needs to make informed decisions on what policies to support. The Soviet Politburo "protected" the people this way. How shameful.

  3. #3    There goes the "Obama's a good man, but..." argument. Anyone who signed off on sweeping a nation's torture under the carpet has done a thing of pure evil. Torture is different. It isn't like compromising on a goal of 24 mpg instead of 26. Being a "pragmatist", Obama may not appreciate that.

  4. #4    Obama joined Bush to bail the banks. He's a right-wing tool, just like his predecessor, and you can bet that predatory capitalism will be gouging us just fine in 2012. Torture keeps folks in line, as Naomi Klein has pointed out.
