Should the CIA be punished for breaking the law against torture 4/23/09

Obama is now decidng whether or not the CIA should be punished for torturing Guantanamo Bay prisoners. One prisoner claims he has been waterboarded 182 times. Other torture methods the CIA used also included slapping and depriving prisoners of sleep etc. The CIA defends themselves by saying that they were under order byPresident Bush.

What do you think is the appropriate way of handling this matter? Who is to blame eitherBush or the CIA for following them. It puts Obama in a tight spot because he want to put the CIA leaders in jail and neither does he want to let them get away with it. If you were Obama what decision would you make?

Pirates 4/16/09

Pirate attacks are happening more and more often. This past week an American ship had been taken hostage with the captain on board. Lucklily snipers were able to take down 3 our of the four pirates on board. If it wasn't for the lucky opportunity, the captain might not of survived or still kept hostage.

The pirates now say they wont be as merciful as they were in the past and will kill them instead of keeping them hostage. What do you think we should do in response to the attacks. Is it necessary to give the crew weapons to defend themselves? Or maybe we sould simply invade the countries on the coast of eastern Africa like we did Iraq and take out any terrorists.

what would you do? 4/9/09

On an episode of what would you do, they set up dates and switched one of the couples with another person. When they met their date it wasnt who they expected it to be. Most couples either walked away or acted aggrivated thinking that the person lied about their appearance online. But their was one man who actually tried to being a gentlemen and pretended they were having fun. He didnt care what his date looked like and thought he'd give it a try and the date actually came out to be good.


If I were in the same situation I would probably live up to my word and stay and finish the date. After that I doubt I would go on another date knowing that she lied about her appearance. If she lied about that, who knows how many other things she might lie about. I would like who had confidence in what she looks like and doesnt need to lie
