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.

Perhaps it is a sign that, at forty years of age, I am in fact an old curmudgeon. Perhaps my view denotes a bit of xenophobia on my part, but I cannot lie, I do not think there should be a Spanish language version of the Anthem. As far as the whole immigration issue goes, I think our borders need to be strengthened and illegals kept out. I believe it is a national security issue. I sympathize with those immigrants, both legal and illegal, who say that they are not terrorists. But if we cannot secure our borders against illegal immigrants, no matter how benign their reasons for entering this country, how can we expect that our borders are safe against those who really do mean to do us harm? Illegals and Taxes Illegal immigrants argue that they are in fact paying taxes. But those are just local sales taxes that all...
