Double depressing news from two 'progressive' leaders today. It seems our freshmen President and Minnesota Senator have been washington-ized into the operations of the corporate war machine. I think they both resoundingly qualify as Hawks:

Remember last year when President Obama promised to close Guantanamo Bay within one year? Today (January 11th) is the annivarsary of the opening of Gitmo - 8 years ago. The one year deadline set by President Obama is January 22nd, and it looks like Gitmo is still going strong!
Hey everyone, BIG news today! Sources are confirming the 5,000th death in the Wars of Iraq and Afganistan! We have quite a ways to go before this is really serious, but we are surely on our way.
