GITMO

What??? Actual law applied? A federal appeals court said Monday that the U.S. military improperly labeled a Chinese Muslim held at Guantanamo Bay an "enemy combatant" and it ordered that he be released, transferred or granted a new hearing.

Don Im-ASS does it again. This morning on his show “Imus in the Morning,” host Don Imus “made a racially freighted comment” about an African-American athlete. Imus and his colleagues were discussing Adam “Pacman” Jones of the Dallas Cowboys and how he wants to now drop his nickname. At one point, Imus’s co-host, Warner Wolf, notes that Jones has “been arrested six times since being drafted by Tennessee in 2005.” Imus’s reaction:

IMUS: What color is he?

WOLF: He’s African-American.

IMUS: Well, there you go. Now we know.

In every stage of these Oppressions We have Petitioned for Redress in the most humble terms: Our repeated Petitions have been answered only by repeated injury. A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

This is right out of the Declaration of Independence. If we do not learn from our past, we will relive it as present!

Ooh, can't wait for the Turley!

Also, Cindy Sheehan is "calling for a memorial service for the 4th Amendment on Tuesday, June 24th. We in San Francisco will be gathering at City Hall at 3pm and having a solemn funeral procession to the Federal building at 3:30 pm. We will then eulogize the 4th Amendment and give it a proper send off. It served us well. Many of our brothers and sisters have never felt its presence, though, even though they have been working for civil rights for generations. Wear black. We are a nation in mourning for our rule of law. "

I'll be going today, hope to see other San Franciscans there. I'll finally get to meet Cindy Sheehan, I'll tell her to call in so more people will join the fight against the Democratic mis-leadership we have in Pelosi.

Imus is an Idiot.

Oh yes, let's police the world first and ignore our own alledged crimes, that's just politics. There is another document worth reading on the Internet in my not so humble opinion. The document in pdf form is the Unclassified version of:

Testimony of
Robert S. Muller, III
Director
Federal Bureau of Investigation
Before The
Select Committee On Intelligence of The
United States Senate

February 16, 2005


Of course same document is available through the Congressional record. Am sure RR and guest may find this public information very enlightening on numerous subjects making headlines today including, terrorism, mortage fraud, etc... etc...

Once again, Russ Feingold actually reads the bill so he knows why it stinks.

He SAYS he was merely being sarcastic. Uh-huh. And NOW he is all sympathetic to the plight of the African American being overly penalized in this country.

Well okay, Imus, look into the phenomenon of privatized prisons in this country and try to stop that. It's a business in this country to incarcerate as many as they can get. MORE MONEY!!! Yeah.

The very reasons we cut ties with the British crown are being revisited. Now, our so called representatives are treading on us. Our flags should fly upside down with the "Don't tread on me!" flag flying underneath it.

After listening to Turley, I still don't see what the problem is. We'd be trading telcom immunity for admissions of guilt on the part of the President. I doubt very much that he'd do it in the first place, so telcom immunity is unlikely, but the worst case scenario is having Bush on record taking responsibility for impeachable offenses.

Psst, you mean he has not admitted to it as yet ? Like in reference to NYTs exposing NSA programs based on whistle blower firsthand accounts ?

The article on Big Sugar/Everglades skims right over the deal without commenting on the "land swap". So what? We're going to buy their land, and give them some land? This sounds like a dirty deal, pay over a trillion dollars for the land then lease it back to them? What's with that?
