neocons will freak out at Obama's using Churchill to oppose torture

[Enrique]

they might even sue. They evoke Churchill so much they might think they own the rights.

Now Obama could drive them over the edge for good by citing Thucydides to justify his foreign policy. :crazy:

1. Churchill supported national health care too

Thought that it was immoral to withhold new life saving medical treatment from any human being.

2. This won't bother neocons nor freepers one bit

...as they are equipped with fact & decency filters.

I'm only going by what Obama just said, but isn't there at least one factual problem with the "Churchill-didn't-waterboard-Nazis" story? The Germans were signatories to the Geneva Convention, al Qaeda isn't. That doesn't mean the moral of Obama's story is invalid, but the comparison isn't exactly apples-to-apples either.

5. That's why Obama did it.

He loves to annoy them.
