US is 'opposing' the lawsuit against torture

What does this mean?
It means that the new boss isn't that different from the old boss.
The Obama Administration, taking its first position in a federal court on claims of torture of Guantanamo Bay detainees, urged the D.C. Circuit Court on Thursday to reject a lawsuit by four Britons formerly held there. In addition, the new filing argued that a recent appeals court ruling makes clear that “aliens held at Guantanamo do not have due process rights.”
Really?

Wow. You didn't argue that when Bush was in office.
AP summed it up like this:
The Obama administration, siding with the Bush White House, contended Friday that detainees in Afghanistan have no constitutional rights

Which proves that Obama was full of crap. Along with everyone who still supports him, after arguing that he was opposed to 'torture.'
