Why mention this today, why call us santimonious.
Mr. Obama beleives we are a sanctimonious gang of sh**t-bags. Seems to me he is fueling the fires of hatred.
To include we the people in this remark is a blatant lie, he knows that. The average Joe cit knew jack sh**te of this torture and when they did find out it was leaked on the net, we the people of this nation raised hell.
He includes Americans in that statement as if we were all guilty of torture, WTM?
Hang your head down, your American, so says Oby.
The United States tortured al Qaida detainees captured after the 9/11 attacks, President Obama said Friday, in some of his most expansive comments to date about a controversial set of CIA practices that he banned after taking office.
"We tortured some folks," Obama said at a televised news conference at the White House. "We did some things that were contrary to our values."
Addressing the impending release of a Senate report that criticizes CIA treatment of detainees, Obama said he believed the mistreatment stemmed from the pressure national security officials felt to forestall another attack. He said Americans should not be too "sanctimonious," about passing judgment through the lens of a seemingly safer present day.
