    Not sure why I thought of this thread after reading through the latest dose of reality on American death programs. Must be fatigue.

    The report is a perturbing read.

    Meanwhile, Assange is now a formal "enemy of the state" and Manning has been newly charged with "aiding the enemy". Whistleblowing...not what it used to be...or something.

    Its interesting reading stuff like this while Republicans are out calling Obama a radical liberal who is constantly apologizing for America.

    I'm trying hard to not pay attention to the election stupidity (you'll note that the above post was my first in quite a while, for example). But your point is accurate.

    Obama has expanded and strengthened all the major facets of Bush's "war on terrorism". Excepting, of course, unfunded dumb wars.

    EDIT: Well...the "war on terrorism" itself is an unfunded dumb war so I guess there is some symmetry in that regard too.
