Do you mean the “kids” who were already in custody for acts of terrorism? And what worse atrocities have been belied on the US and our allies by these terrorists? You cannot send them to time-out and expect them to do better, or bow to their kings and expect their gratitude. Obama IS changing things-indebting us for generations to come, jepordizing our national security, and making us the laughing stock of the world-in just 6 short months,no less!

Maybe they did actually have the mother raped and the kids killed. There is a video of kids being raped at abu ghraib prison under US command at the time, because their parents wouldn’t or couldn’t give up info.

...I guess a more appropriate question would be, if the neighbor’s kid, strapped what looked like a explosive device, would you shoot them before they crossed into your yard?

The short answer is “in a NY second.”

The media does “hype” it. The reports have been on the table since 2004, and now THIS administration is deciding to pursue an investigation and possible charges? Didn’t this same president during his campaign state that what was in the past was in the past? Hmmm-another lie? How is it our military’s fault if children are killed because terrorist CHOOSE to put themselves amongst the kids? Did the terrorists care about protecting the children, or using it as propaganda, after the fact. These people are ruthless. They take pregnant women and the mentally disabled,strapped with explosives to kill and maim as many as possible (because they will look “innocent”). The current methods have kept us safe for almost 8 years now. The new administration has just extended an invitation for more terror on OUR soil. Heck, they’ll probably even have a guest suite and a “teachable” moment over beer.

Threatening kids,or to rape someones mother-was just that, a “threat”-to get them to spill secrets,which worked. They did not act on it. Unlike the terrorists who decapitate someone on live TV, or kill their OWN children.

your statement typifies the benjamin franklin quote: “They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.”

A more appropriate question would be, if the neighbor’s kid, strapped with an explosive device, tried to enter your house, what would you do?  No attempt to save your kids, your family?  Once again, I do not understand this mentality.

This is not about hyped media. This report is just a small ray of light from a highly redacted document. Meanwhile the boys are still having fun with their predator drones (the name reminds me of the term child predator) in safety with a pat on the shoulder for saving the world.

Obama has changed nothing

i still dont have a problem with the cia. if it takes them having access to my telephone records fine. listen in on my calls? are you kidding, go right ahead you wil discover just how boring life has become. yeah maybe i did look at youporn for four hours on a saturday once but so what. i know we have lost pretty much any expectation of privacy. but if its what it takes to keep the nuts from doing crazy stuff go ahead. nothing really to hide here. (Except looking at youporn once and a while)

jeffsmith. You are paying to much attention to what the media is feeding you. The media is in business to make money and the best way for them to do that is to sensationalize any and everything to sell the so called news. While there may be innocent children dying one has to remember that this is a war and there will be collateral damage. The media will hype anything to make it sell.
