3. K&R..wanna bet Bandar Bush and little boy bush enjoyed their evenings with rendition tapes?

Obama needs to release all tapes and all photo's if we are ever going to have our moral compass back and he needs to allow the DOJ to do their job and hire a Independent Special prosecutor! There must be accountability for this nation to earn back any repect we used to have throughout the world!
