Bush's Plans to Legalize Torture

You know why the big push, all the sudden, by the criminal Bush
administration to make torture legal (retro-actively, mind you)? It's
because they know that Americans are about to say 'No,' to their failed
policies. This November, Americans are going to reject the failed
policies of fear, Americans are going to reject Bush's failed foreign
policy, Americans are going to reject this administration's ideas that
it's okay to treat people in our custody in a cruel and inhuman way.
The Bush administration knows that Americans are going to return to
sanity and elect Democrats back to the majority in both the House and
the Senate, and that when that happens, Congress will have, and use,
it's subpoena power to investigate the lies that were told in order to
drag us into a war of choice against a country that did nothing to harm
us. But even morefrightening to the neo-cons, is the fact that Congress will investigate their reliance on secret prisons and torture, and that Bush and Cheney and Rumsfeldand (Atty Gen.) Gonzales will probably be eligible to be brought up on
war crimes charges by international courts. That's why the big push, all the sudden, to retro-actively make torture legal.

Donald Rumsfeld on CNN

8:15AM Pacific Time: Sittin here watchin Wolf interview Rummy on Late Edition, and Rummy is talking about why it's not a good idea to pull out of Iraq right now. He's talking about, and I paraphrase, "If we establish a timeline for pull-out, then we're telling the insurgents that they only have to wait until we're gone, and if we do that, they will wait, and then unleash a blood bath when we're gone." Goddamit, I hate it when I have to agree with one of these trolls. But, sadly, no matter how much we hate the Bush administration, truth, from any source is still truth. And the truth is, the insurgents will wait, and they will unleash a blood-bath. What Rummy doesn't say is, all that will be our fault. I have to say it, though it pains me to do so, I do think it's irresponsible to call for an immediate troop withdrawal from Iraq, because of what I said above. I believe that what the democrats need to keep harping on is the fact that pre-war intell...

Ch-Ch-Changes

Nearing 40 years of age, I have learned that most all good things must come to an end. Good places to be, good friends, good lovers, good times, they come and they go. And so it is with careers sometimes too. A few weeks ago, the company I work for had a company wide meeting of all departments to announce impending lay-offs. And for a variety of reasons, I think I'm for the chop. Technology is to blame. We used to be in and out of the Federal courts all the time, filing cases and retrieving documents and doing all the things that legal messengers do. But now electronic signatures are recognized as legal, so lawyers can electronically file those documents without leaving their office, or having to pay us to do it, so they don't have to leave their office. DAMN YOU INTERWEB! We are already seeing the loss of revenue from this. Anyway, sooner or later this will be the case in all the courts. As I understand it, the reason its not already is because the Feds only recognized certain...
