Gasoline is $2.38 today in the Dallas, Texas area. And now, Bush wants to try the terrorists ~ are these the same ones that have been deposited in Guantanamo Bay?? ~ and he's pushing it on Saturday????



Falling gas prices, bringing terrorists to trial and blaming Clinton for 9/11. I just wonder what chapter of the playbook we're in right now?

I believe the chapter is titled "Desperation."

I heard a quote from someone earlier about all of Bush's speeches. "They're like episodes of Seinfield. They're on every night and we know every line."

So true. Thanks for that one, William.

It should raise suspicion to everyone, not just myself...as to why he wants to try them in a military tribunal system rather than the regular court system....it appears that he is continuing the same path to protect evidence of fraud and to make sure that they never have any rights what so ever. they are dead set on hiding their deciet and are using every option available to them to hide from the public eye..the truth. why has it been so long that these detainees have been locked away?...secretly for years now?....without any type of representation?? why? I'll tell you why...they know too much. and they surely arent a threat to any of us...but they are indeed a threat to them. The military is so much under the Bush control thumb now, CIA department and all the other secret agenda plans would be highly threatened if these people were realeased, or subjected to a open court system which would expose the real criminals and bring down a corrupt government. they are scrambling now in desperation, because they know the real concern is that the Senate and congress could become under Democratic control and the rules and unlawful laws could be reversed..NOT in their favor.....if any american need be concerned about the future of this Democracy at this point in our history....they should be eager and steadfast on changing the voting system in this country before any further elections can proceed....mainly...because they will manipulate it again.....they will do whatever it takes to protect their lies....even if that means stealing more elections for a favorable outcome.....despite the polls, despite all evidence of a loss. they can do it and they will. we are past any shock and disbelief when it comes to how bold they be and how low they will stoop. one more stolen election will ruin this democracy forever....there will be no justice and we will be out of time and out of hope.

Terrorists on Trial ~ can't you see the banners on Fox and CNN??? That's what it's about. Parading out the terrorists for court appearances... taking the emphasis away from Saddam Hussein ~ who seems to be holding his own in court. What a mess our country is in.

President Bush will not get his way because Lindsey will not let it pass. He stopped while reading the legislation when he found a provision in the law that would deny suspects access to evidence against them. He said, "That's the killer," after seeing this provision. However, Majority Leader bill Frist is so determined that this bill will get through that he threatened to route it around the committee if Graham, Warner, and McCain didn't "think their position over" and I assume come to the same conclusion they did about the administration bill. This is a power play and it makes my very sick. The Chicago Sun-Times reminds us of why we cannot allow the administration bill to pass.

Contact Graham, McCain, and Warner to voice your support for their position. Contact Frist and McConnell and let them know that you agree with the Ggraham, McCain, and Warner as well as voicing your opinion about doing an end run around the committee to get a dasterdly bill passed. This is disgustingly political.

oh jeezz oh lordy, lordy...just imagine that you or your family is arrested, charged with a crime or crimes.....serious ones at that......and when asked to see the evidence against you....you know, the stuff that the case is built on?.....and they deny you that. I cant even begin to understand who would think that could possibly be legal and humane. but wait...there is a few who think it is.......what in the______?

I do think about Americans being arrested and charged with serious crimes. I am concerned about the possible application of this law if the government decides to charge someone with, say terrorism, they could be denied access to evidence against them. This is especially true in terms of drug crimes. We had a special feature on the Channel 5 news at 10PM last night about the connection between drugs and terrorism. This comes up at the same time as we have 8 Chicago Police officers that are up on charges breaking and entering.

We are being logical here. Most people would find denying access to evidence to be illegal and inhumane, but we also know that this administration knows no lows or humanity. The ones who believe these behaviors and practices are legal and inhumane are apologists for the administration and seek to make this issue political rather than solving it.
