   2. Larry Wilkerson (Colin Powell’s #2) said that nearly 200 detainees died in US custody and over 25 of those deaths were declared homicides by military investigators.

   Of these “nearly 200″ deaths, how many were suicides?

   And I’d be willing to bet that 100% of the “over 25″ homicides were committed by other inmates. How will moving these people into the civilian penal system be any different? The detainees at Gitmo will either kill or be killed by the civilian inmate population if they are imprisoned with that population.

   And all the while, MM and co. are making fun of Pooh bear.

   We’re not making fun of Winnie the Pooh. We’re making fun of the trivialization of foreign policy matters by Obama’s advisers and potential cabinet members, which is a matter of great importance to this country. But as you have no discernible sense of humor, you obviously don’t get it.

   Can we use the John Birch society as a news source?

   BTW, if true, I guess I should feel bad that 25 al Qaeda and Taliban killers died during interogation. But considering they’d be enjoying legal protections not offered to prisoners of war who followed the rules of war, and might well be set free because a trial could reveal sources and methods, and return to the battlefield in Afghanistan to fight US troops again, I just can’t get as worked up as you seem to be.

    . Larry Wilkerson (Colin Powell’s #2) said that nearly 200 detainees died in US custody and over 25 of those deaths were declared homicides by military investigators.

    I wonder how many innocent Iraqi or Afghani deaths they may have been responsible for (you know, the ones you blame our military for)? At least they won’t be clogging up our courts. And, as mentioned above, why do you assume that the homicides were committed by our troops? That is a fundamental flaw in both your reasoning and your patriotism.

    And all the while, MM and co. are making fun of Pooh bear.

    No, we are making fun of the fact that Obama has about the same level of understanding of domestic and foreign affairs as Winnie the Pooh. Sorry, Winnie, for the unfavorable comparison.

    By the way, you sound a little personally offended by the fact that someone would “make fun of Pooh.” Have we touched a nerve?

    Wow, this has got to be the oddest use of Winnie the Pooh I have ever witnessed. I do remember using Pooh and the other characters in the 100-acre wood as objects for diagnosis while studying psychopathology. Then there was a wonderful article published in a journal about that very thing. Pooh helps with diagnosing mental disorders (or teaching students who to recognize patterns and apply DSM definitions).

    I just don’t see the application for National Security. Well, actually if you combine the whole mental illness, diagnosis, etc. then maybe there is a connection.

    Here’s a small snippet of Pooh’s diagnosis:

    Pooh is also clearly described as having Very Little Brain. We could not confidently diagnose microcephaly, however, as we do not know whether standards exist for the head circumference of the brown bear. The cause of Pooh’s poor brain growth may be found in the stories themselves. Early on we see Pooh being dragged downstairs bump, bump, bump, on the back of his head. Could his later cognitive struggles be the result of a type of Shaken Bear Syndrome?

    I takes a real liberal Rip Van D!ckhole to call a story “new” that was reported three years ago. The meticulous Heather MacDonald told the story behind the headlines in June 2005. How’d you miss that, oaf lgm?

    Well, no, most of those deaths were in military self-defense or were accidental, and most occurred at the point of capture — razor close to the heat of battle, if technically considered “in detention.” I don’t know where Friedman comes up with his “over 100” number. As of March 16, the Army was reporting 68 detainee deaths. Of those, 24 were confirmed or suspected criminal homicides, but again, a full 15 of those homicides occurred at point of capture in Iraq and Afghanistan.

    To defend itself against a lawsuit by the widows of three American soldiers who died on one of its planes in Afghanistan, a sister company of the private military firm Blackwater has asked a federal court to decide the case using the Islamic law known as Shari’a.

    Let’s get the players straight. Larry Wilkerson is a bitter, has-been who now advocates Bush’s impeachment. That puts him on the same credibility plane as Dennis Kucinich. You may be closer to the truth than you have ever been when you describe him as “State Department #2.”

    The #2 at the State Department knows as much about what happened on Afghan battlefields as the #2s at Interior, Health & Human Services, Commerce or Labor.

    You fail to address the fact that the new developments you crowed about are nothing more than a rehash of numbers first reported by Thomas Friedman in 2005 and clarified by Heather McDonald a few months later.

    It’s an old, old story.

    Obviously Steve456 is a one-off troll registration name. Such lonely drive-by psycho nutcases burn names and get booted; sadly, it’s their sole purpose in life.

    Of course, the great thing here is the fact that Obama wants to use “Winnie The Pooh” as his State Department’s rule/guidebook has left even the most goofy of Democrats embarassed beyond belief. Hence their bizarre outrage; none can explain, much less justify, this insane Pooh decision by Obama.

    Can you blame them? If you had to come up with an excuse for Obama’s “Winnie The Pooh”-based worldview/plans, you just couldn’t. Only an insane or incredibly naive (not mutually exclusive conditions) person could.

    So in such a case, the embarrassed Democrats can only attack the messenger which, as we have clearly seen here, is all they got re: Obama’s fairytale worldview. The Pooh-based policy worldview is massively stupid, even for a dim bulb like Obama. Who could defend it?

    If Obama can stay pretty clean, do some good things as Senator, and then become Governor of IL, he could be unstoppable in 2012 or 2016. Scary stuff.

    I would dearly love to see a Jewish, African-American woman as POTUS. It’s not race or gender that makes it for me though. It’s political beliefs that matter, and socialism is bad for everybody, (accept those high in government or high-level academia) especially poor people, of all races. Obama is a dyed-in-the-wool Marxist, no thanks.

    His ‘Change’, ‘Hope’ and ‘Progress’ mantras are actually somewhat self-mocking. Making your own Obama posters is totally addicting.
