[Rhodes22-list] The Post Turtle (Humor/Political)

Actually, if Wikipedia is correct, what Obama said was fairly accurate, but
not entirely so.  Of the six originally charged, five were eventually
convicted and sent to jail.  Only Yasin remains at large, and this was
because the FBI apparently screwed up.  They had Yasin in detention and
released him, where he promptly fled the country.

Come on Brad, it's clear you don't care for Obama.  that's fine, you're
entitled to your opinion.  But when you cherry pick facts and twist them to
support your dislike for Obama, you're lost the debate.  Speaking of cherry
picking facts, you ever work for Dick Cheney?  Jeez. - rob
