For the first time I am getting quite worried about OB. The main problem of going "to the center" is that it means leaving the group that has been the moral voice of this country since the Bush administration, the left. Its not that we have taken sides for no reason. War, prisons, rendition, spying, torture, and so on. The issues reflect the basic moral core. There should NEVER be imprisonment without a trial and there should NEVER be a trial with tainted evidence. Thats a concentration camp. The Iraq war veterans will tell you that even the US government refers to the camps as concentration camps. Not only is this WRONG but it is the ONE OF THE UNDERLYING CAUSES OF TERRORISM AGAINST THE WEST. That tells me that its nothing but lack of nerve on the part of OB. He must know its wrong. Thats not good and he is actually endangering us by his pathetic attitude.
