'It is not true that Barack Obama single-handedly destroyed the rule of law in the United States. The savaging of the Bill of Rights was, in effect, a tag team effort between Obama and his predecessor, George Bush, two presidents united in a single-minded quest to remove all barriers to the imprisonment, without trail or charge, of persons anywhere in the world, including U.S. citizens. George Bush did the initial groundwork, interpreting the 2001 congressional mandate to strike militarily against al-Qaida as giving the president the power to hold foreign prisoners without charge in Guantanamo, and, in theory, to treat American citizens the same way. But that was a stretch, and only a presidential opinion.'

'The ferocious attack of Afghan Taliban on Camp Bastion military base in Helmand province of Afghanistan is quite telltale. The base is in the use of both the British and American armies, where on four-month duty tour is stationed as well Prince Harry, the third in the British line of succession. Although he is under the Taliban’s life threat, their spokesman has announced that the Saturday’s attack on the Camp Bastion was meant to avenge the American sacrilegious film derogatory of Islam.
Whatever it is, the deadly Taliban assault has neatly knocked the bottom out of the hoax that both the British and American military high commands have bee parading now for quite some time. They assert that Helmand, a hotbed of Taliban insurgency, which has been primarily under the operational command of the British military since 2006, has been pacified. So much so, the British military commanders have lately been telling their political bosses that the province stands so much secured that the Afghan security forces can now easily control it.'

'British officials’ slogan of freedom of expression seems to be not more than a mirage, as a Google censorship report shows a high number of attempts by the government to block online content, while stopping short of condemning the blasphemous anti-Islam movie.
According to a Google Transparency Report that offers an overview of which officials have asked Google to delete content, the UK government asked Google to remove 729 YouTube videos from July to December 2011, with the most requests concerning the violation of its national security.'
