While the United states Armed Forces (private mercenaries) are stationed at 737 bases, in 130 nations around the world, defending “all freedom-loving people everywhere in the world,” Democratic (socialist/fascist) de facto President Obama (either a natural born subject of the United Kingdom enclave of Kenya, or a natural born resident of the republic of Hawaii) reneges on his campaign promise the publicly release photos of the torture committed by U.s. Army Soldiers at Abu Ghraib Prison in Iraq.

       Democratic speaker of the house of representatives Nancy Pelosi criticizes the Central Intelligence Agency for lying to about the fact that it was torturing (waterboarding (simulated drowning)) internees at its prison at Guantanamo Naval Base, Cuba.  Yet Pelosi was told September 4, 2002 in a National Intelligence Briefing that the CIA was in fact using “enhance interrogation techniques” on prisoners at Guantanamo.
