Obama Eyes ‘Preventive Detention’ System

Posted By Jason Ditz On May 20, 2009

During a 90 minute meeting with human rights advocates today, President Barack Obama said that he was considering coming up with some sort of “preventive detention” system which would provide him a legal basis to detain suspects as a threat without having to charge them with any crimes.
The meeting was intended to be “off the record,” but some of the participants left seriously concerned that the president, who only last week resumed the long criticized system of military tribunals for suspects at Guantanamo Bay, was now looking for ways to hold people legally without having to present any evidence of wrong-doing.

President Obama will be delivering a 35-minute national security speech tomorrow at the National Archives. He is expected to address his plan to close the detention center at Guantanamo Bay, though today Press Secretary Robert Gibbs lauded the effort of Senate Democrats to block funding for the closure.

Last week the president made a shocking number of moves to roll back what few positive changes he had made from the previous administration. It seems now that this was only the tip of the iceberg, and that the Obama Administration will continue on the path of using the war on terror as an excuse to take ever more liberties with, well… liberties.

I do believe they think they own, not just this country, but the entire world. Obama is not being held hostage by anyone; he is a puppet and always has been. As talented a writer as Ms Dowd is, she is an idiot if she believes Obama is being held hostage. By the way, the skies where I live were full of contrails today. That is a bad sign. Stay out of Iran, Bibi. You don't own the world either. I still believe that Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld and their friends are the ones who choose and groomed Obama for the Presidency.

If they had done their job as the 4th estate during the primaries and vetting BHO and his Chicago-style politics, they probably would not be experiencing this exclusion. Maybe they are finally learning how BHO uses people once he gets what he wants and then tosses them aside. Once again, karma is a b*tch.

He lurved Bush until he hated him. Then he said Hillary engaged his "Cootie factor" and that he could not stand her. He trumpeted Obama and now Sullivan's head is, once again, exploding because he now sees that Pr. Obama cares not a whit about the GLBT agenda. Either these two and others are possessed of the world's worst judgment, or worse, don't even believe what they are saying. They just try to stay au courant and ahead of the curve and push the popular koolaid so they can sell copy and stay employed. Conscience, common sense and good judgment doesn't seem to much enter into it. MoDo is guilty of the same cognitive dissonance as someone like Andrew Sullivan. He lurved Bush until he hated him.
