Vous pensiez que l'élection de Barack Obama allait mettre fin à l'antiaméricanisme ?

Écoutez plutôt cet extrait d'une discussion entre Benoît Dutrizac et "l'humoriste" français Guy Bedos:

Il est incroyable ce Bedos. Les Américains ont élu un noir à la tête de leur pays, chose qu'on ne risque pas de voir en France, mais les Américains sont encore et toujours des tarés à l'esprit fermé alors que les Français sont des parangons de vertu…

Aux États-Unis, vous ne verrez jamais de manifestations racistes lors d'un événement sportif alors qu'en France la chose est devenue si fréquente que les arbitres sont appelés à sévir contre les spectateurs fautifs.

Guy Bedos is full of shit.

Obama’s War on Terror May Resemble Bush’s in Some Areas
The New York Times

In little-noticed confirmation testimony recently, Obama nominees endorsed continuing the C.I.A.’s program of transferring prisoners to other countries without legal rights, and indefinitely detaining terrorism suspects without trials even if they were arrested far from a war zone. The administration has also embraced the Bush legal team’s arguments that a lawsuit by former C.I.A. detainees should be shut down based on the “state secrets” doctrine. It has also left the door open to resuming military commission trials.

These and other signs suggest that the administration’s changes may turn out to be less sweeping than many had hoped or feared — prompting growing worry among civil liberties groups and a sense of vindication among supporters of Bush-era policies.

Margaret Satterthwaite, a faculty director at the human rights center at the New York University law school, said, “It was literally just Bush redux — exactly the same legal arguments that we saw the Bush administration present to the court.”

Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union, said the sequence of “disappointing” recent events had heightened concerns that Mr. Obama might end up carrying forward “some of the most problematic policies of the Bush presidency.”Mr. Obama has clashed with civil libertarians before. Last July, he voted to authorize eavesdropping on some phone calls and e-mail messages without a warrant.
