How To Stop Terrorists, 101

The first terrorist bombing of the World Trade Center happened in 1993, when Clinton was president.

As a result of this bombing, the FBI collected evidence, rounded up suspects, conducted fair trials & the terrorists are in jail right now.

THAT is how you stop terrorists.

You DON'T do it by torturing suspects, calling them "enemy combatants" & trying to avoid giving them due process under the law. It just doesn't work, as the supreme court recently ruled.

Why doesn't the bush regime want to put these detainees through the court system?

Fear, Itself

Today I heard a very interesting commercial on "Air America" radio.

It was a so-called public service message from Homeland Security. Funny how I didn't hear these ads until the November election got closer.

These disguised republican campaign ads feature kids asking their parents where to go in case of a terrorist attack.

First, republicans are telling us our kids aren't safe unless they vote republican. And they have the nerve to do it with a campaign ad disguised as a public service message.

The republican congress has FAILED its citizens in every way. So the only reason they can come up with to re-elect them is that if we don't, we'll have a terrorist attack?

Come on. The American people are smarter than that.

Let's vote out the republican nazis & get Democrats the majority in congress this November. Then we'll have some sanity in Washington.

Who Would Jesus Torture?

I heard that on "Air America" radio & liked so much I stole it. ;)

The republicans passed the torture bill recently. On "Air America" radio, Tom Hartman was talking about the bill. He said the supreme court would strike it down, as it's plainly unconstitutional, because it does away with habeas corpus.

Which means w. could declare any US citizen an "enemy combatant", imprison them indefinitely & not allow them to challenge their imprisonment.

We know that torture doesn't work. Victims being tortured will say anything just to get the torture to stop.

Do cops torture suspects? No, because they know the evidence produced would be inadmissible in court.

The same kind of evidence that would be allowed under the torture bill.

How would you like to be convicted by evidence that was gained by your torture?

Also, you won't be able to see the evidence against you, because the bush regime calls it "classified info".
