Toddler With Bruises From Stairs?

Where's the change Mr President?

confirmed progresses term of President Obama, my skepticism - surpasses even some of my fears ...

A study by the U.S. Department of Defense has just found the reason that everything is fine at "Camp Justice" on Cuba. Lawyers and civil rights may find fault with the prison conditions and in particular the force-feeding hunger-striking prisoners. The Pentagon, however, recognizes only a marginal violation of the Geneva Convention: One to two dozen Prisoners in the security wing of the camp should get more exercise and social contact than before.

The bitter words of "Obama's Guantanamo" is already circulating. My human rights so that the U.S. military camp near the Bagram airfield near Kabul. About 600 "enemy combatants" are sitting behind barbed wire, and America's military leadership is driving the construction work to double the capacity of the camp prisoners nearly 1100. "Some of our clients are there for so long in prison as those in Guantanamo," complains Tina Foster, attorney for the organization International Justice Network (IJN).

Bagram internees are still more vulnerable than Guantanamo inmates: The right to challenge their often years in prison before a U.S. court can (habeas corpus), gave them the Bush administration always denied.

On the grounds that it stood highest State secrets are at stake, called on Obama's lawyers, a federal court to immediately knock down a suit by five men who had been abducted as part of Bush's anti-terror war by the CIA.

By its action would now sue the five freed terror suspects a subsidiary of the Boeing Corporation for damages. The company was apparently involved in the CIA program, spent the suspected terrorists to third countries and there was torture ("Rendition"). Obama has stopped this practice. However, holding his CIA director, Leon Panetta, a door open: "At least in the short term" should the new government can move terrorists so as to body.
