I'm not going to say much more than I agree with you, and I long for the day that this administration is a memory so long gone that it's gathering dust.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06386655587963143782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1151936076019466932006-07-03T07:14:00.000-07:002006-07-03T07:14:00.000-07:00yep, we know we disagree before we start. You don'...yep, we know we disagree before we start. You don't know what they were. 300 of them have been released without charges because there were none to be used. Some were picked up because an enemy warlord wanted their property-- sound familiar? I would not be surprised that some are bad guys down there, but I don't, nor do you, know who that ex CIA agent was or whether he was to be trusted. If one goes there and says it's terrible and all innocent people there, you say they lie, but this guy, oh he's telling the truth. Because it's what you want to believe.<BR/><BR/>Did you read the New Yorker article about Addington? Read it before you put down all of this fear over the Constitution being overridden by one party. I have no doubts the Republicans will go along with the president and that's why I say we need a new party in power. I'd be fine if it was a third party; but there is only one option for now, if we don't want more of the same-- Democrats.Rain Trueaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07994628226501093880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22918248.post-1151899458736163752006-07-02T21:04:00.000-07:002006-07-02T21:04:00.000-07:00Here we go. I dont agree with everything that is ...Here we go. I dont agree with everything that is being done to the bill of rights in the name of fighting terorism, but these are not US citizens that we are talking about these are enemy combatants. There was an "ex" CIA agent on the local radio station that has been to Gitmo twice and seen what kind of people are being held there. He said they are bad people that have threatened the guards and said that if they get out they would go after the guards families. And one reason they dont want to go through the US courts is they have evidence against them but not enough to convict in a normal court system. I think the court may have overstepped its jurisdiction this time. Congress already passed a resolution in 2005 that should have overriddent the court and now it looks like Congress is going to pass another law to override the court again.Ingineer66https://www.blogger.com/profile/01319022726561229313noreply@blogger.com
