I just looked at Drudge ... nothing about the report at his site, nothing.

A right-wing pal of mine just kind of shrugged it off ... "I got worse in boot camp," he said.

Isn't it odd for these folks who are always hyperventilating about government and tyranny, that they either don't care or are enthusiastic proponents of the most basic elements of potential government tyranny: police power and a government's power to lock individuals up without trial and even use torture.

Of course, Pres. Obama isn't exactly behaving with the outrage we should expect from the leader of the world's greatest democracy ... he obviously just wants this story to just go away, too.
