When you read the article you would believe this was from the Bush era and dick Cheney uttering all this but you will discover that President Obama is just another politician playing his base as the fools they are while enjoying the abusive powers that his base once objected to...
" When Virginia Democrat Tim Kane asked if the U.S. could hold foreigners at the naval base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, if AUMF were repealed, McLeod said yes, because justification could be found under the international laws of war. "
" That jockeying and obfuscation reveals that there are many similarities between the Bush and Obama administrations in their preferred means of going after those they judge to be terrorists. Superficially, President Obama may say the Bush-era tools and tactics are overreacting, which prompted ex-Vice President Dick Cheney to go on CNN as recently as 2011 and urge Obama to reconsider his words. However, on substance, both White Houses have embraced the same approaches. "
