In what’s a long blog even for him, Glenn Greenwald hits President Barack Obama with “everything but the kitchen sink over his lies on military commissions.
Lies? Yes. Contradicting some of his clearest campaign statements to use either civilian courts or traditional military trials, whichever were applicable.
Lies so egregious that Jake Tapper traps Obama press secretary Robert Gibbs into spluttering nonsense when he tries to defend his boss.
But, tell me, Glenn, what will you do three years from now? Will you advocate for the left-hand side of the duopoly, or will you use your platform to tout third-party alternatives?
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.
