Editorial !

The editorial I chose pertains to the issue of cover-ups and security in the United States under Obama and Bush. The article is about the court cases of two men of arab heritage that were seized and even tortured. These court cases are in question because they were dropped by the American court system and brought to light under the British court system. The men were detained at airports and, under the security system put in by President Bush, were sent to the countries they had been born in to be tortured and later sent to Guantanamo Bay. The editorial claims that Obama has not done anything to fix the abuses of the Bush Administration and claims that it needs to install some credibility to the system and to the Obama reputation. I think that Obama does need to fix the security problems because they are basically racist. Bush implemented a system that profiles people who look to be from the Middle East. Two middle eastern men that were citizens of develpoed western nations were tortured and imprisoned because of harsh regulations and misinformation. The current system needs to change because America does not need to look like a racist anymore. These two stories of foreigners on American soil being kidnapped is very Saddamesque.
