Keep these coming, Barack
Summary of the latest Executive Order issued by Obama:
Executive Order revokes Executive Order 13440 that interpreted Common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions. It requires that all interrogations of detainees in armed conflict, by any government agency, follow the Army Field Manual interrogation guidelines. The Order also prohibits reliance on any Department of Justice or other legal advice concerning interrogation that was issued between September 11, 2001 and January 20, 2009.
So far, I’m quite pleased with my vote for President, thank you!
(I love how it not only restores the rule of law in this area, but specifically points its finger at the Bush Administration.)

idk how its going to go for the next four years… but I hope it goes like this… I’m sure it won’t… but it’s relieving to see some of the worst damage being undone…
it’s alarming though, that only another Executive Order had the power to overturn this policy… not cool…
the centralization of power in the president’s hands, as a whole, is an issue that has to be tackle right now before it gets a helluva lot worse…
good to see us going in the right direction though…
One Love, One Hope,
