Obama threatens UK?
February 4, 2009 - 10:11 PM

http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article5661291.ece

UK Judges reveal that they can not reveal details on a UK citizen being tortured into giving a false confession at Guantanamo as the US has threaten not to share intelligence with Britain if they do.

Is the Obama administration intimidating its own friend, Britain, through blackmail? Boy, aren't we friendly, President Obama. Sounds kind of Bushy to me. Sure "we can change" but are you the man that's going to do it?

LA times reports that the reasons why we wanted to close Guantanamo will still be continued under Obama's administration. Secretly kidnapping suspected "terrorist" and transferring them to prisons in cooperating countries will still continue.

Is there real change here, Obama? Sounds Bushy to me.

Obama is a very neutral man and will always do what we least expect. He doesn't depend on the old status quo for his reforms. Who ever is going into alliance with him should be ready for surprises.

Gordom Browns visit yesterday reversed the ties to the old friendship.

Obama is trying to be all things to all people, an old political ploy used to cover up being bereft of policy. Unfortunately the credit crunch has effectively tied his hands behind his back. Us Brits, Americas faithful lapdogs would never dare rock the boat.
