CNN: Reports that the Obama Administration has followed the Bush Doctrine when it comes to terrorists held in Afghanistan, they don't have the same rights as US Citizens. Lets be honest Obama didn't have much choice, he has surge going on in Afghanistan, he cant have a surge and thus more fighting between the US Troops and the Terrorists/Taliban and thus more prisoners and then let them go, Afghanistan would become his Vietnam fast. The Blue Dog Democrats in the Congress would rebel, they want to get re- elected 2010. Also President Obama will face a problem, he wants to cut defence spending to Afghanistan while having a surge, as he is going to have a surge of seventeen thousand US troops that will cost money, 2009 is expected to be tough year in country, thus more money will be expected, one has to wonder is Obama reading his own press releases and thinking they are true.
