The article begins: "The UN has called on Barack Obama to order a full investigation of US forces' involvement in human rights abuses in Iraq after a massive leak of military documents that detail torture, summary executions and war crimes."

We are concerned about a recent drift towards vitriol in the RSN Reader comments section. There is a fine line between moderation and censorship. No one likes a harsh or confrontational forum atmosphere. At the same time everyone wants to be able to express themselves freely. We'll start by encouraging good judgment. If that doesn't work we'll have to ramp up the moderation.
General guidelines: Avoid personal attacks on other forum members; Avoid remarks that are ethnically derogatory; Do not advocate violence, or any illegal activity.
Remember that making the world better begins with responsible action.

But than again, it's a live and learn world, isn't it? But the question is, have the Obama Administration learn anything at all?
President Obama is nothing but a weakling or an apologist or have surrounded himself with political cowards and cowardice in the face of the enemy.
Go UN, go! The American people are behind you.
American exceptionalism! ha, ha, ha!
It is the rest of the world that will pay close attention and wonder what happened to this country that not so long ago was the sole surviving superpower. Americans have become experts good at projecting their moral lapses onto everyone but themselves. "They made us do it. We had no choice." Just the same way wife beaters can never admit they have a problem, we will point to our bruised knuckles and tell the judge, "See what she did to me when I had to hit her."
Daniel write the manifesto and circulate it on the Internet, then we will go to the street. We can magnify the message - we have the means - it will grow exponentially.
20 year old idiot can capture 500 million "Facebook membership hits 500 million" like him on Facebook - we can do better. After 8 years of Bush - we look like Nazi Germany in 1945 to the rest of the World - and nothing less than Norinberg type trial will do. First thing is to dismantle Pentagon ...
I agree we must push Obama to follow the wishes the UN and investigate the evil that has been revealed through the Iraq Logs. It should have begun during the Bush Admin with Impeachment hearings. We should still exercise that option IMO.
The Constitution still provides us with redress of grievances and we, the people, should take full advantage of these tools to ensure the torturers are brought to justice. Tearing down the house just to get the contract to rebuild it is the way of those who would destroy the progress we have made as a nation.
genierae, my heart is broken. Please endorse any and all attempts to bring these animals to justice. I know you will, but this is a turning point we must address. Your sugestions are requested.
Mein Kampf by Bush - Tea Party can not wait ..

ROME – Bishops from the Middle East who were summoned to Rome by the pope demanded on Saturday that Israel accept UN resolutions calling for an end to its “occupation” of Arab lands.
.. the bishops also told Israel it shouldn’t use the Bible to justify “injustices” against the Palestinians
