As I've been saying, Obama's failure on this (and the rest of the DC-Dem "leadership") http://talkingimpeachment.com/blog/Hall-of-Shame-Inductee----Barak-Obama.html">has been ongoing for literally years. Obama's treaty-bound duty to report and ACT to stop the ongoing torture and war crimes began the day he became a US Gov't official as a Senator.

But a substantive action is something that actually changes the circumstances of torture victims or perpetrators. None of the "banning" or "closing" has meant anything to detainees -- other than perhaps making their circumstance worse by http://www.pubrecord.org/nationworld/706-obama-admin-reportedly-sending-detainees-to-bagram-instead-of-gitmo.html">transporting them to Bagram.

On the perpetrator front there has actually been a substantive development. Obama has publicly http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSTRE53H1Y020090418">joined in the lawlessness by continuing to drive the torture getaway car.
