Barack Obama, with his pick of Eric Holder to be Attorney General, is promising to make it easier for terrorists to commit acts of murder against defenseless American citizens.
The first thing the Democrats are doing is lessening the ability of the United States to prevent terrorist attacks. In the future, effective interrogation techniques such as waterboarding, which has produced intelligence that has thwarted terrorist attacks, will be abandoned in favor of humane treatment of terrorists.
Holder says that “waterboarding is torture”. Waterboarding involves pouring water on someone’s face to give him the sensation of drowning–it is completely harmless. These terror suspects are not U.S. citizens, and are not entitled to the protections of the United States constitution. But that won’t stop the Democrats from giving them those protections. Further, because terrorists are not affiliated with any nation and do not wear uniforms, they are not entitled to the protections of the Geneva Convention, either.
Holder is hinting that he may seek to prosecute members of the Bush administration for keeping the nation safe for the past seven-and-a-half years via its use of waterboarding.
To add injury to insult, Obama plans to close the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, that houses terror suspects from around the globe.
We know that dozens of terror suspects released from Guantanamo have returned to terrorism the past few years.

Dozens of suspected terrorists released by the United States from Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are believed to have returned to terrorism activities, according to the Pentagon.
Since 2002, 61 former detainees have committed or are suspected to have committed attacks after being released from the detention camp…
Obama does not seem to realize that the reason those prisoners are being held at Guantanamo is because they are dangerous. If the prisoners Bush released are committing acts of terrorism, what does Obama think the ones he releases are going to do?
Obama is doing everything possible to undermine the safety and security of the United States. He promised during the campaign that he would be tough against terrorism, but he lied.
On the plus side, if any acts of terrorism occur on American soil, they are going to be committed in Democrat-leaning population centers. It is more likely that Democrat voters will bear the brunt of terrorism and be killed in higher proportion. I really don’t have a problem with that. A good Democrat to me is one that isn’t breathing.
As a final note, some liberals out there are rallying support to pressure Obama into allowing some Guantanamo detainees to live in the United States after they are released.
LA Times Article
Human rights advocates are urging the incoming Obama administration to allow some detainees from the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, to resettle as U.S. residents as part of any plan to close the controversial facility.
Some have the mental disorder of liberalism so badly that they not only want to treat terrorists with respect and dignity, but they want them to live amongst us.
Sadly, our nation is now run by liberals. So it wouldn’t surprise me if the Obama administration actually allows Guantanamo detainees to live in the United States. They’ll probably get some generous welfare benefits and free housing for life from the Democrats, too.
