Check the UK newspaper headlines during Obama's last visit. This is gibberish. If you want to make a case for your nonsensical views, you need to do better. Provide the links. And they need to be representative of the British press. Not some crackpot commentator, who like your own Rush Limbaugh, views the world looking up from the bottom of a well. (and you need to bring more bozos over to rec your nonsense....)

A real story..... Nikita Kruschev, during his heydays of power, once stood up in the USSR Politbouro meeting and was tearing apart the high handedness of Stalin. He unleashed a diatribe against the tortures in the gulags when Stalin was President. Then suddenly a voice from the back benches asked, "When this was happening, what were you doing in the politbouro meetings." Kruschev looked around and asked "Who was that" There was silence and nobody raised their hand. After a pause he said "I did the same thing" That was 50 to 60 years ago. In todays world, we have a similar situation with, now get this, the US torture issue (have we become communist like the USSR!!!) Most of our Congresspersons knew about it they all kept quiet or so it appears. We do not know how many of the Senators expressed their displeasure to W but did so behind doors. Do you have any knowledge or access to any information on which of our elected reps raised objections behind closed doors?
