Obama passed law requiring interrogations to be taped

People who complain that Barack Obama lacks experience must be unaware of his legislative achievements. One reason these accomplishments are unfamiliar is that the media have not devoted enough attention to Obama's bills and the effort required to pass them, ignoring impressive, hard evidence of his character and ability.
Since most of Obama's legislation was enacted in Illinois, most of the evidence is found there -- and it has been largely ignored by the media in a kind of Washington snobbery that assumes state legislatures are not to be taken seriously. (Another factor is reporters' fascination with the horse race at the expense of substance that they assume is boring, a fascination that despite being ridiculed for years continues to dominate political journalism.)
I am a rarity among Washington journalists in that I have served in a state legislature. I know from my time in the West Virginia legislature that the challenges faced by reform-minded state representatives are no less, if indeed not more, formidable than those encountered in Congress. For me, at least, trying to deal with those challenges involved as much drama as any election. And the "heart and soul" bill, the one for which a legislator gives everything he or she has to get passed, has long told me more than anything else about a person's character and ability.
Consider a bill into which Obama clearly put his heart and soul. The problem he wanted to address was that too many confessions, rather than being voluntary, were coerced -- by beating the daylights out of the accused.
Obama proposed requiring that interrogations and confessions be videotaped.

I'm sorry, but anyone who truly thinks Bush is a satisfactory president needs to be relocated to Siberia.

Sounds like Obama knows what he's doing.

Natasha · 05-14-2008, 01:35 AM

He'll be assassinated if he's elected. Doesn't matter who it is...but I can guarantee you that the 1st black President we have will be assassinated simply b/c there's enough ignorant people out there to think a black President is the end of the world. *rolls eyes*

All Else Failed · 05-14-2008, 02:01 AM

I highly doubt he would be assassinated.
