I listened to Kevin Pereira's latest podcast today. He had Ahmed Shihab from the Huffington Post (I know) as a a guest. Some of what he said was shocking. I'll post the link, but I quoted his most damning statements.

In reference to foreign policy under Obama:
"US credibility is hanging by a thread."
"People don't take America seriously."
"There is a reason why President Obama wants to keep journalists who are exposing these things in jail, calling Presidents (Turkey, Syria) asking them to do this."
On Drones, Obama's "personal army" and Syria:
"In 2011 there was a journalist who exposed people being killed, innocent people, innocent civilians. 14 of them women, 22 of them children and he was in jail for five years but when his sentence was up Obama made a phone call - claiming concerns that this journalist had ties to al Queda, of course with no evidence whatsoever - keeping him jailed."

Now, I've never read this guy before. Don't know squat about his credibility. But he seemed genuine (not to mention liberal). He claims information on government websites backs this all up. I was sure pissed after hearing that conversation.
