America has lost its innocence. America, it's unfortunate, no longer has the moral authority to tell other countries not to torture our troops and our soldiers. We can't tell them not to. That would mean we are the biggest hipocrates to ever have lived. No, we must "get used to" it that our soldiers will undoubtedly be tortured in the future. If your kids are serving in the military, they will probably be tortured. We allowed it to happen, and did nothing to stop it. We no longer have any moral authority and our word means squat. We are worse than the viet cong. Most of the people at Abu Ghraib and at Guantanamo Bay Cuba had absolutely nothing to do with Terrorism…and, as proof, we let them go willingly and without filing any charges. That was Obama, that did that, I know you're thinking…ah, no it was Bush. Bush willingly let all the "Terrorists" go without even attempting to file charges against them. Now, you have to ask yourself for a minute, were they really Terrorists? I think you know the answer to that. We have all been fooled. We were duped, tricked. I know it is hard to admit when a person is wrong. I went for the longest time and didn't want to admit it either. The fact is we were tricked into fighting two illegal wars and then permitting terrorism/torturing in our good name. American soldiers are left wide open to torture…there is nothing we can do about it…we can't stop it…we will have to just live with it. Thanks to Michael Hayden and George Bush!

"President Obama told Netanyahu that his administration has a timetable on Iran." ... and you link to the New York Times??

Aren't you supposed to enlighten us here and not help propagate pro-war propaganda? Especially from The New York Times! We know very well where that led us last time we listened to them.
