Torture and David Miliband

Guardian: Reports that Labour Leadership Candidate David Miliband and former Foreign Secretary allowed SIS ( MI6 ) to carry out operations that could lead to terror suspects being tortured abroad. If David Miliband wins one can presume that the Guardian will have to eat humble pie for a time before getting access to the new leader. On the other hand it’s a great weapon for the Coalition Government, if Labour pushes its mobile hacking claim it can grant a Judicial Review but one that will also look at the torture of UK Subjects or UK interests under political authority. Thus Mr Miliband might face some very tough questions, the nature of the cases, how far did he give the green light, etc. Also it might drag in Blair and Brown. Who will bet that if David Miliband wins there will be a side deal to drop all such investigations.

Obama’s FAILURE over Afghanistan

The Washington Post: Reports on the political in fighting within the Obama White House between the LIBERAL President who wants out of Afghanistan and the military who want to win as with the case in Iraq. One can see General Petraeus the former Commander of Iraq and now in Afghanistan walking out on Obama and running against him in 2012, the General from the sources in the article is not a happy bunny when it comes to Obama. The flaw in the Obama character is also shown, he seems to think that the WORLD is a Harvard seminar, that the World is what he thinks it is, any guy that made his political bones through a racist preacher and spent years in his Church does not see the real world. Lets face it the EGO was not helped by getting the Nobel Prize for doing nothing, and I mean nothing! It looks like Mr Woodward has another bestseller on his hands.

The White House WARS of the Obama White House

The New York Times: Reports that Bob Woodward of the Washington Post, the part of the team that bought down Richard Nixon over Watergate has come out a new book on the Obama White House and its fraught Afghan Policy. In essence the National Security Team don’t trust the political operatives around Obama and the political operatives seems more interested in spin not having a united Afghan Policy. Read of the Day.
