Obama--Just another American War Criminal
Been reading about a coverup of a massacre of Afghanistan prisoners that just came to light recently.
First, Obama says he's going to look into it...
"(CNN) — President Barack Obama has ordered national security officials to look into allegations that the Bush administration resisted efforts to investigate a CIA-backed Afghan warlord over the killings of hundreds of Taliban prisoners in 2001."
Now, it appears the Obama administration has already decided that the US has no "grounds to probe" the crimes even though the guy who was in charge of the prisoners was on the US payroll.
Obama has now snuffed several attempts at prosecution of war criminals. At what point does a president's ability to subvert the law make him complicit in the original crimes?
That point has come and gone. Obama is a co-conspirator. We now have just another war criminal in the white house.
So, what's changed?
