    why hasn't general posted any news on Obama suddenly turning into Bush?

    Really? Nothing about Obama's DOJ claiming state secrets?

    Is the Obama administration mimicking its predecessor on issues of secrecy and the war on terror?

    During the presidential campaign, Obama criticized Bush for being too quick to invoke the state secrets claim. But last Friday, his Justice Department filed a motion in a warrantless wiretapping lawsuit, brought by the digital-rights group EFF. And the Obama-ites took a page out of the Bush DOJ's playbook by demanding that the suit, Jewel v. NSA, be dismissed entirely under the state secrets privilege, arguing that allowing it go forward would jeopardize national security.

    Coming on the heels of the two other recent cases in which the new administration has asserted the state secrets privilege, the motion sparked outrage among civil libertarians and many progressive commentators. Salon's Glenn Greenwald wrote that the move "demonstrates that the Obama DOJ plans to invoke the exact radical doctrines of executive secrecy which Bush used." MSNBC's Keith Olbermann called it "deja vu all over again". An online petition -- "Tell Obama: Stop blocking court review of illegal wiretapping" -- soon appeared.
    Even Keith fucking Olbermann is raging about it.

    Americans think that anything left of Mussolini is communist, but that has nothing to do with the emphasis on news in general being about LOOK AT THOSE SILLY PUPPIES, instead of, oh i don't know, their government being a cunt.

    Oh, because watching people bitch about things they do nothing to try and change is much more entertaining than random images, funny news stories, and SPORTZ.
    (Each with their own respective amounts of bitching)

    So the question would be, why aren't they pointlessly bitching about this? I mean honestly, how many times did ZOMG BUSH IS DOING THIS AND THAT threads show up in the span of the last 5 months? A lot of Obama supporters are genuinely furious about this, but seemingly the political community in general would rather just spend time patting eachother's backs on how progressive they are in the gay marriage thread and endlessly bitch at eachother in the gun thread.
