Got logged on, talked about the pastor in Florida a bit, and then about the gay policy in the military. The whole "Dont ask, dont tell" policy. But, Obama is working on getting it removed. Think its unconstitutinal.
Last topic we talked about is Guantamilo Bay and our naval base there in Cuba. Got it in the Spanish // American war. Have been using it for a prison for terrotist. Obama said earlier that he was going to close down GB and has critized Bush for it. America doesnt want to be seen as a "torture" country.
