nenya_kanadka: thin elegant black cartoon cat ([politics] fear itself)
It looks like we may have a new CIA director WHO'S ANTI-TORTURE.

OH MY GOD.

If this is really true I will be so, so happy. This was one of my big things in supporting Obama (in supporting ANY Democrat really). Partly because it was [livejournal.com profile] bellatrys's coverage of Abu Ghraib back four and a half years ago that made me wake up and start paying attention to politics, but also because of simple humanity, I've been very sad and angry over what the US has been doing with its prisoners during the war on terror.

There are other issues, even other very important issues, but if Obama is listening on civil rights--OH MY GOD. I will *dance*.
