We can only guess. which is OK. However, it behooves a writer or any sayer to warn a reader or listener by stating that she is only guessing. i have noted that nearly all msm scribes often posit their conclusions or guesses as factual events and not product of their fancies and strong bias. so, please, let us not be like them! bozhidar balkas tnx sorry to disappoint mikel, but it is clearly a conclusion that Obama switched sides many times.

Furthermore, it is the Guantanomo staff and guards which should be imprisoned; the people who were illegally abducted, tortured, beaten, and wrongfully imprisoned for years should be released already!
