SocraticGadfly: Neoliberalism could become neo-torturism with Obama

Neoliberalism could become neo-torturism with Obama

And civil liberties take a back seat

Reportedly, Barack Obama, he of the FISA 45 percenters among Congressional Democrats this summer, thinks “bipartisanship” extends to torture lite. At least, many of his transition team foreign policy and national security advisors are pushing for that kind of “centrism.”

Hey, if Rep. Jane Harman is seriously getting discussion as Homeland Security Secretary or Director of National Intelligence, that shows you just how much President-elect Obama cares about civil liberties.

That Kool-Aid gets “tastier” all the time, doesn’t it?
