What is happening?!
W. pounds his chest three times while bellowing ‘I am the president,‘ the Constitution is relegated to comic book status, thieves steal copper from working communication and HVAC systems, the Middle Class falls into poverty as the rich become richer through greed and favorable government decisions and the executive branch play games with the word ‘torture.’
Have we become San Marcos in Woody Allen’s BANANAS?

President Esposito:
From this day on, the official language of San Marcos will be Swedish. Silence! In addition to that, all citizens will be required to change their underwear every half-hour. Underwear will be worn on the outside so we can check. Furthermore, all children under 16 years old are now… 16 years old!

Omar Khadr’s lawyers say they can’t understand why Canada is not doing more to help their client in light of new evidence that Ottawa has put the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, on a watch list for torture.
Khadr — a Canadian citizen who was just 15-years-old when he was captured in Afghanistan more than five years ago and taken to Guantanamo — has claimed that he has been tortured at the prison. Now, CTV News has obtained documents that put Guantanamo Bay on a torture watch list.
Khadr’s U.S. military lawyer says the new documents contradict Harper’s assurances that his client is receiving fair treatment.
“Omar has certainly been abused, his rights have been violated under international law, and apparently the Canadian government has reason to believe that’s true, and yet, they’ve acted not at all to assist him,” William Kuebler told CTV News.
