    Intelligence Policy to Stay Largely Intact

    WASHINGTON -- President-elect Barack Obama is unlikely to radically overhaul controversial Bush administration intelligence policies, advisers say, an approach that is almost certain to create tension within the Democratic Party.

      More hot air crapola.

      Do you have proof or is it just more of the usual anti-Obama speculative crap?

            when I see a reply such as yours it reminds me of what a 5th grade teacher of mine used to say when the class used to get a little antsy as she was writing on the blackboard. You would turn and face the class and say "Empty barrels make the most noise" which has been proved time and time again by all the comments you post.

              That's funny seeing you PC25 are the one always posting this speculative nonsense. Empty barrel?

                Funny, before today I hadn't heard of DenCuddy, would this Cuddy happen to be related to the funny one on that show about a drug-addicted doctor with a limp that I like so much?

                My point being that yes "empty barrels make the most noise" so far he's been more silent than you have, Mr. Hotair.

                Or are you going to deny the name of the website you got this crap from? Don't, it's indefensible

                  Oc25 has argued FOR torture numerous times.

                  Why suddenly against it?

                    Because he wants to own it and not let any one else play?

                      I don't think he's against it at all. Rather he's pointing out Obam's hypocrisy if indeed Obama does do an about face on the issue after denouncing Bush's policies to get elected.

                        When Obama tortures somebody, I'll denounce him.

                        Until that time this is bogus smearing.

                          Well if he leaves the policy intact it's just a matter of time when it happens,,, instead of the promise made that it won't happen under his watch,,,,,,, I'll wait with baited breath to hear that denouncement in the future.

                            You do that.

                            And don't mind if I bring this up when he doesn't.

                              Sure, will you do it daily or wait for his first term to end?

                              I wonder, will the media even look into it to see if he does?

                      All one has to do is read the second sentence, see that word rumours ???? Yup rumours is what you post as true and that shows me that you are still in the 5th grade.
                      Your posts are very much like Peyton Place,,,,just a rumour mill is all

                    Huffington Post, founded by a noted conservative. Makes you wonder why she is not happy with the admin.

                    It's because the admin is not conservative.

                    Dionys -- As it happens, politics is politics; this is real life now. In any political contest, a candidate will say what he/she thinks is necessary to be elected. No knock on anyone; that 's just the rather sordid nature of the occupation. Whether what is said is actually believed can run anywhere along the spectrum from unbelief to strong belief. I (and I assume others) heard McC say things that didn't sound like him. I'm not familiar with Obama (who is?) ; but I wouldn't be surprised at all if some of the same was heard in his camp.

                    Now GWB at the time of the election was immensely unpopular. So candidate Obama's tactics included painting McC as another Bush (remember McSame?). This in spite of the two of them being considerably different people. Nothing unusual here, just standard politics-- yucky, but that's politics by nature I'm afraid. McC's unlike him statements were meant to pull in voters from the right; candidate O'babma's, from the left.

                    Anyway, when all was said and done, everyone heard what they wanted to hear and candidate Obama was elected. Now he has to govern. It doesn't surprise me that some of his more leftish constituency seem to be dismayed because he doesn't now seem to be as far along their path as they thought he was. At the risk of being very cynical-sounding, nothing is impossible if you don't have to do it yourself.

                    Seems to me that at this juncture we need is something that works. IMHO, ideology (of either the left or right) is going to be more a hinderance than a help. Obama seems to me to be a decent type, certainly not the devil incarnate, though he's woefully inexperienced (again not a problem to those who never have had to lead anything) and doesn't mesh with all my beliefs. So smile and cheer up. Lack of hosannas doesn't necessarily mean hostility.

                              I guess you haven't been watching Bush's exit speeches where he says one thing and then someone shows the older footage of Bush saying exactly the opposite. Many times.

                              THAT is lying, again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again and again.

                              WATCH BUSH'S OLD SPEECHES AND PRESS "BRIEFINGS" THEN WATCH HIS LEGACY TOUR INTERVIEWS.

                              If you like lies so much...
