A Thinking Reed

Ethical challenges for the president-elect

Obama’s global ethical challenges, according to Peter Singer:

-close Gitmo and end the practice of detaining people whithout charges
-withdraw from Iraq
-increase and better target foreign aid
-take serious action on global warming

Sounds about right.

(Incidentally, it’s looking like Obama is going to make climate change a priority.)
