After serving my country, I can’t believe the ignorance by so many. As a black man, I am proud that bi-racial man can be the leader of the free world. But that is where it stops.
What I fear is all of these extremist groups who support and voted for Obama are going to get some of these out of wack ideals and policies that makes us weaker as a nation. I feel that Europe has won the vote, and we are going to become soft and wave the white flag when terrorist attack or commit harm. Just like Europe. What about those who are here illegally? A 16 year girl was killed in my community by a person who has been in the US for 14 years illegally, and is suspected of DUI. Of course, these extremist, communist groups want this man to be set free and get all the rights and money he deserves. These groups’ views and policies are anti-human in general. They support extreme measures and do not protect the innocent.

The point is, the Amnesty group is full of morons who want to protect the killers and those who want to harm INNOCENT PEOPLE! 

The last 8 years have sucked, but I have a feeling that they are not going to get any better. I see a weaker, more socialized/Marxist nation, rather then one that was founded by our four fathers. 

respect to sylvie for reporting this - who couldn't miss the world has gone election day crazy.

I REALLY do hope amnesty international are actually going to push these requests, it might bring back my faith in humankind!

Nice to see the fanatics (or is it sore mccain losers?) adding their tupence worth - not.

This is not directed at the author of the story but at those selfish, self deluded, ignorant little minds who think that it is fine to bomb, kill, torture and maime anyone who gets in the way of 'sovereign states'. In this case it happens to be the USA. It is because of callous unthinking irrational people like this that the world is in the state it is.

You do not live in a bubble, you do not have supreme power and every day all you make is enemies. You seem to lack the basic cognative ability to be able to compare points of view and to coexist with othes.

Please grow up and learn to think for the sake of us all.

No country is perfect but there are those which are much more free than the supposed 'land of the free'. The majority of the world does not wish to be there or like there.

I bet you don't even know what Marxism and Socialism mean. Yes they are flawed but no more than capitolism.

It is sad that there are so few rational people in the world compared to the psychotic rabble that appear out of the woodwork to try and intimidate and destroy because they are too feeble to compose a rational balanced argument.

Regards,
A thinking rational person

Glad to see an inteligent article, yet saddened by the stupid comments.

(apologies for any spelling and punctuation errors, I was not going to proof read this on an iPhone and then try and correct it all)

"unlawful actions"?

Sorry to disappoint you, Sylvie, but there is NO such thing as international LAW, as each country is sovereign and there is no overarching authority (no, the U.N. is NOT the world government).

So you and the rest of the Euro-peon Marxists may not like it, but that doesn't make it illegal, or even unreasonable.

We will do whatever we have to do to protect ourselves. Too damn bad if the rest of you don't like it, we really don't give a damn about any of you anyway.

I voted for Barr (on my principle) 

I hope Obama finds the guidance, wisdom and courage do do the right things, and that's all I can do. 

(replying to some posters) The only thing I actually hate, are whiners that don't contribute anything positive.

All I can say is wow, just wow.........

I've been on a high all day thinking good things about Obama and what hopes for the future might be achieved then a frocktard like you comes along. You stunned me but for all the wrong reasons.

Idiot

Incidentally, I believe it was 'your' CIA that created Osama...

Actually, this is basically the only accomplishable wish that a lot of people around the world have.
The Obama Administration can do it basically on its own.
And it gives a nice reason to clean up in CIA, Pentagon, etc.



"So, enjoy it world...because a LARGE amount of people have been waiting for a lapdog-to-the-world president to make things worse state-side, so we can get back on the road to our true destiny."

Most of us don't really don't see how any President could make things much worse than our current one has... and I can pretty much GURANTEE you that your true destiny is not even in the same universe as mine - or most Americans, for that matter. 

"You see, we have a WONDERFUL safety button in our very Constitution...the world can't grasp it, and some are outright jealous of it... 
We are given the right to bear arms to ELIMINATE our government if it becomes too out of touch with the country, or goes too far down the path of wickedness and corruption."

Yes, Robert, we do have a safety button - It's called VOTING! We didn't invent it and we don't even do it the best, but we did do it MUCH better this time. I happen to agree that our "right to keep and bear arms" is meant to provide us a means to overthrowing tyranical government - BUT, only when rights to democracy have been denied us.

Keep it up with that kind of insane xenophobic rhetoric and we'll see that your ass is the first one against the wall when the revolution comes!

Peace out, Homies. Good job Inq!

Ah, yes the Sun never sets on the British Empire. No single country in history has left more atrocities in its political, imperialistic wake than Great Britain. The entire continent of Africa, along with India, Pakistan, Indonesia, and your greatest work, Iran are just a few examples of your penchant for Manifest Destiny, and arrogant English superiority. England was the model of white supremacy in which the after effects are felt worldwide to this day.

I’m sure Amnesty International UK is quite good at spotting so called racial “abuses”. You did, after all, invent Apartheid which I’m sure our new President Is well aware of, as well as the risk the terrorists currently in custody present to the security of the UNITED SEATE OF AMERICA, Great Britain’s single most LOYAL ally.

Keep this is mind as you try to deal with Moslem extremist within your own population presently, while we deal with the aftermath of the 911 attacks to our nation. God forbid a commercial jet should fly into Parliament and you have to deal with the loss of friends, family, or coworkers. I mean that with all sincerity. This is still a powerful threat to this day.

You are a computer industry rag, and not a political forum vested with journalistic entitlements. Your inherent expertise in the industry is marginal, at best. Your combined experience and knowledge in international relations is three tiers below the likes of Susan Saradon which our new President was extremely wise not to embrace during his successful campaign.

Stay away from trite political commentaries. You’re simply not that educated and not that smart, obviously. Stick with industry trash, at least it’s entertaining, especially when you’re wrong. You won’t be ‘dancing in the isles’ of a hijacked 737, that for sure.

Nice article Sylvie, hadn't seen this on any actual "news" site yet.

Robert, please go to Free Republic and stay there. Those fundie-mentalists are more your speed.

Kudos to Amnesty International. Thanks for reporting this, Sylvie.

Awesome, Sylvie, why don't you go write for NY Times or some other newspaper.

dybnida! (captcha)

...because this man has given fuel to the fires poised to burn a path to another Civil War State-side. His election has unveiled the other half of the face that Bush began 
showing 8 yrs ago...American people, as a whole, are coin-tossers between cock-sucking Marxists or mouth-breathing Evangelists. 
Americans (and at this point, anyone in the world) of high or even moderate common sense and IQ levels are to be forever drowned out by the retarded masses and interest-conflicting media.
Idiots, morons, human sheep and medicated psychopaths crawl out of the wood-work only for elections and award shows it seems. 

This man is absolutely as dangerous to the future stability of the world as Bill Clinton was (read: MUCH more than Bush 1 or 2).

Muslim sympathizers and Sylvie rejoice!!
Ol' Obama will be killing Christians in no time! You really think he'll stand up to the Muslim and Commie dogs perpetuating the Darfur crisis???
Don't worry dim-witted and unwashed Europeans, he will be making plenty of domestic and worldwide decisions based on what spineless/brainless foreigners want.

So, enjoy it world...because a LARGE amount of people have been waiting for a lapdog-to-the-world president to make things worse state-side, so we can get back on the road to our true destiny. 
You see, we have a WONDERFUL safety button in our very Constitution...the world can't grasp it, and some are outright jealous of it...
We are given the right to bear arms to ELIMINATE our government if it becomes too out of touch with the country, or goes too far down the path of wickedness and corruption. This isn't the UK or Canada...we bleed weapons here, enough thankfully that one simple-minded president and his masters could never take them through legal means, and if they try by force...well, see the first paragraph.

So, enjoy his time world, because if he DOES try to make good on all his promises he made to his owners George Soros and Oprah Winfrey, he will be out faster than a European's acceptance of Sharia law.

Muslims need to grow-up, Christians need to stop back-sliding and damn it people...We are ALL descendants of Africans, do you think we left the Dark Continent by accident??? It is, and will always be the hell of man's past, and an example of how far we have come (or haven't come). 

Lobotomy recipients like Bono and the other African horn blowers don't get it at all...When modern architects and victims of African tribalism show that they are ready to join us at the big-boys table of civilization, then we can again lend our hands in helping the continent move towards enlightenment and prosperity.

So for the world's sake, Obama better not make good on ALL his goals, or the next one in will (again) be based on isolationism and distrust of foreigners, which won't take any of us closer to peace, prosperity and the elimination of socialism (Including Fabian Socialism Brits!!).

Separate but equal...

Robert

Was it Amnesty that is really responsible for MS killing Windows 3, which also had caused millions of people and hardworking techs to suffer under its tortuous reign?
