Now YOU were obviously on the WRONG side of the 60's and YOU ask a stupid question like that? ROFLMAO Sparky the Record is oh so clear and "Liberal's" have so much better a record of fighting Terrorist. Hell the biggest Terrorist in the HISTORY of man kind was defeated by a "Liberal" over the objections of "con's". Maybe YOU should attend a night class in American History. LMAO By all means stay away from those Nazi Youth Camps or Skin Head Rally's, they are rotting your brain. Sieg Heil Y'all.

Poor perception indeed. It's a well-known fact that "reality" has a "liberal bias", and doesn't conform to wingnuts' quasi-fascist demands. What's the matter - Faux News and AM screech radio not winning the "war on terror" for you?

The issue at hand is the most fundamental legal right we have: habeus corpus. When a "President" thinks he has the power to throw an American citizen in a military prison with no legal recourse, he stops being "President" and becomes dictator. There's no arguement.

FYI............as I doubt if America's corrupt liberal MSM wolfpack press is going to give this info much "press":

From the LATimes today:

WASHINGTON Fueled by disappointment at the pace of change since Democrats assumed the majority on Capitol Hill, public approval of Congress has fallen to its lowest level in more than a decade, according to a new Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll.

Just 27% of Americans now approve of the way Congress is doing its job, the poll found, down from 36% in January, when Democrats assumed control of the House and the Senate.

And 63% of Americans say that the new Democratic Congress is governing in a "business as usual" manner, rather than working to bring the fundamental change that party leaders promised after November's midterm election."

They haven't been the ones in charge the last 6 years, have they?

[clestes-2009]

Bush has made a mess of everything he has touched. There is NOT ONE single issue he has brought up that has not been a complete failure or a out and out disaster.

Why should "enemy combatents" be any different.

The has been charged, he should have his day in court. Either prove he a terrorist or release him.

What, I ask someone, is the point of locking up a bunch of people (enemy combatents) and deprive them of their rights, so they just stay behind bars at the expense of us tax payers??

It costs tens of thousands of dollars for every single person behind bars. We have no idea what, if anything, these people have done, but we are suppose to support them for how long???? The rest of their lives????? Where is the sense in that????

Only dubya could make a mess out of charging and convicting terror suspects. He is incapable of doing ANYTHING right.

We will be cleaning up after dubya for years to come. Straightening out confused laws, re-establishing ties with allies, trying to bring Iraq to a point where some of the soldiers can come home. I say some, because I doubt that we will withdraw complete, although I think we should.

The Bush presidency has been a disaster.

The Democrats are not in charge of the war on terror.

Junior, the reformed alcoholic coke sniffer is.

[AgentGGG]

The fact is that the administration is ignorant or willfully contemptful of the rule of law, and thereby is ignorant of the fundamental pillar of our successful democracy.

The Bush team is solely interested in political expediency, embodying a take what you can get at the moment attitude, coupled with, extremely short-term non-strategic execution. They justified themselves with fantastical neo-con ideological dreams of how nations really develop and operation.

But by their incompetent and irresponsible leadership, they damage the very democratic institutions that protect us from tyranny, and diminish our personal freedom. The politics of fear against the terrorist threat enable the erosion of legal garantees that have proven themselves over hundreds of years -- habeous corpus, and protection against torture, to name a few.

If you think about the legal philosophy behind their terrorist prosecutions, you notice that it presupposes to know with certainty that the defendant is a terrorist, ergo guilty. Thus the institutions of justice become subordinated to validate the obvious guilt of the defendant, instead of being the public venue where guilt can be legally established. They are putting the cart before the horse, and we are all paying a dear price.
