Comments on: Bush Signs Terror Detainee Bill

Bill Authorizes Tough Interrogations, Clears Way For Military Tribunals

Ronnie, Reading the posts it seems you and the boys had quite the night last night.

"Now with this new law Bush can put all who disagree with his policies in jail indefinitely and torture them until they confess to steeling the Lindbergh baby."

Oh come on now. You know very well that section of the bill only applies to the Dixie Chicks. You people and your hysteria.

[bellal-2009]

But we don't want real terrorists prosecuted in the criminal justice system, do we. And you know a good percent of them are terrorists or soon to be terrorists once released.

[grumpas]

I can't help but wonder how many of the people being held are actual terrorist's????? How many of them are hapless people who were at the wrong place at the wrong time and got caught up in Bush's rush to hysteria???? If Bush were defending this country, then why does he need to eliminate Habeus Corpus in order to do his job??? If he were half way competent he could do it without taking people's right's away! But, we all know what his basic problem is! It looks to me like he is "Power Crazed" to the point he is an extremely dangerous man! If Bill Clinton had pulled half the s... Bush has he would have been run out of the country! It's time for American's to wake up to what is happening in this country! It is no longer a mystery to me how Germany managed to become fascist in the 30's! I see the same thing happening here with this diabolical piece of legislation!

"I don't know if we alienated allies. We may have formed some new alliances and in doing so given them a hand up.
I'm trying to think of what country I can't go to that I could before. Venezuela definately doesn't like us but who cares and Russia's getting testy (not sure what that's about), NK who cares. "

When alienating allies, I don't think the biggest of our worries is not being able to visit their country without being bothered. It's about having another tool of negotiating peace. Just because people think that a specific country doesn't deserve to be an ally, because we don't really care about them, by no means belittles the fact that allies are important to have.

I will agree that Democrats aren't without their own scoundrels, but they have never alienated our friends and allies around the world like the current administration has. Never tried to rewrite the rules of war, or chosen big business over the environmental safety of the world. They are broadminded enough to accept people who think and live differently than they do. Republicans try to say Democrats flip-flop on issues because they don't march lock-step with their party platforms. They are real, thinking, differing, people who are scared to death that so much damage has been done to this country in the last 6 years that it will take generations to repair.

Mr. Bush said the process is "fair, lawful and necessary."

Does anyone, apart from the indoctrinated Republican idiots that support his ideology, actually believe him?

Apparently, drugs to cause brain damage. Bush is living proof.

Now with this new law Bush can put all who disagree with his policies in jail indefinitely and torture them until they confess to steeling the Lindbergh baby. Stay the Course, Vote Republican!

SearingTruth, wonderful, wonderful quote by Thomas Jefferson. I love that.

Boy you boys had quite the night last night, huh?

[lestb35]

You know, I still don't get exactly what this bill says. Detainees will be prosecuted by military commissions instead of the criminal justice system and the president has final say in what techniques are used in interrogation. That's about it. Right?

[sayfud-deen]

i can't say that i feel sorry for the american people. especially those who have not paid attention to what bush and his gang have been doing to the rights of the very people that they claim to be protecting.they have played the terrorist card for all it's worth.and they are'nt done.we who have the guts to say this war is illegal,who criticize the goverment, who are muslim or live some other way of life that they don't care for,or question any event that just does'nt add up, are fates are pretty much sealed. we may disappear at any moment. but you know what i'am going to really enjoy as i sit in my cell? i'am going to enjoy all of the pamolive smiling news people,polititians,and coma induced citizens who thought that they were safe from this goverments actions, being placed in a cell with me.

"Habeus is eliminated for anyone designated as an unlawful enemy combatant which can include US citizens. This is why the bill is so dangerous. Compound that with the widely reported concentration camp-like facilities that have sprouted up across the country in the past few years whose stated function is to deal with a severe influx of immigrants or another national security emergency, this is a scary proposition indeed."

"This was the object of the Declaration of Independence. Not to find out new principles, or new arguments, never before thought of, not merely to say things which had never been said before; but to place before mankind the common sense of the subject, in terms so plain and firm as to command their assent, and to justify ourselves in the independent stand we are compelled to take. Neither aiming at originality of principle or sentiment, nor yet copied from any particular and previous writing, it was intended to be an expression of the American mind, and to give to that expression the proper tone and spirit called for by the occasion."
Thomas Jefferson, letter to Henry Lee, May 8, 1825

"I do not reveal the unknown, only the forgotten."

Yikes!!!, another one over the wall by Mr. Olbermann. I guess, in the end, America can claim that at least one journalist knew what the Constitution was, what it said, and where they might find it.

"I at once understood everything and nothing at all. A victory, accompanied by defeat. A war, with no prisoners. A threat, with no substance. A fear, with no end. A sorrow, with no comfort. And a land, with no freedom."

RonnieHM, we are defending your freedom in defending our own.

Would you please go back to your elementary schoolbooks and look up basic American civil liberties?

And of course, check back after words.

"As I watch my countrymen, brave and loyal souls all, follow the ageless path unto sure enslavement, the cruelty of an ironic history so oft repeated elicits primal calls of freedom, and deathly cries of pain. I am an open wound."
