Julian Assange: Hunted by America's Violent Empire

59. Interesting, I had read that it was a controversial law and should have been

rescinded a long time ago. That's the problem with these laws that are passed when the country is in a state of fear. They are easy to pass, but so hard to get rid of.

And I agree and could not be more disappointed, that this administration has had such a dismal record on Civil Liberties. One of the reasons I was so enthusiastic about Obama was because of his speeches on Civil Liberties which were so different to Bush's total disregard for what makes this country what it is.

It's hard to put together his stated positions before the election and his record since taking office on these issues.

A lot of people have become very cynical about politics over the past four years. I don't really listen anymore to what candidates say. Now I just oppose Republicans because they are more than just bad on policies, they are dangerous and have no saving graces.
