I heard on the news today that Al "torturer" said he would review the Court opinion and advise the Prez whether or not to comply with it.
I never thought we the people of the United States of America would find ourselves living under a dictatorship.

Word on the street:
Jennifer Crawler is leaving the RPA.

SUPPOSE BUSH, CHENEY AND LIEBERMAN THROW ANOTHER WAR BUT NO ONE COMES?

"The U.S. Army missed its recruiting goal in May for the first time this year but said on Monday the shortfall was not the start of a downward trend. The active-duty Army, severely strained by wars in
Iraq and Afghanistan, recruited 5,101 new soldiers last month, short of its 5,500 goal for May. . . ."

Wonder if the spineless legislators of both parties will ignore public sentiment and have courage to vote for a draft, if the trend continues? . . . and what would happen in the following election?

I also wonder what would happen, if Russia or China were to threaten or declare war to further their political aims instead of the Bush administration facing second or third tier militaries in the Middle East.

These are very dangerous times and not because of the Bush administration's terrorist boogeyman. The three thousand plus of the WTC and the three thousand plus of Iraq and Afghanistan could be small drops, if a confrontation with China or Russia arose say for Quemoy or Matsu or perhaps, if Russia decided to reconsolidate one of it's previous satellites for it assets.

The decision does not affect prisoners at GITMO as you are suggesting, The New York times even mentioned that part of the ruling.

From the New York Times, "The decision does not appear to affect the rights of men held at the American naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Judge Motz stressed that the court analysis was limited to those who have substantial connections to the United States and are seized and detained within its borders."

It has nothing to do with Gitmo.

The distiction basically comes from weather or not he is a "civilian" or an "alien enemy combatant"

Most of the opinions I have read are saying this will likely be overturned because of this guys terror ties. well see.

It's about time to quit pussy-footin around and get rid of these guys. What's it gonna take, an angry mob of 2 million marching towards Washington?

The Senate voted along party lines for the most part to stop the talk and hold a no confidence vote on Gonzales. I'm sure glad to see Mark Pryor voted with the Democrats this time.

But notice his mentor, best friend, and role model, Joe Lieberman voted with the Republicans to not allow the vote.

Let us remember that Pryor was lied to and walked over like a squashed June bug by Alberto Gonzales. Yet, his dear dear friend Lieberman apparently values his friendship and working relationship with The Torturer more than Pryor who made a fool of himself supporting Lieberman's independent run after the voters in his home state told him to buzz off.

Think Pryor's got it yet that he's been had? That he's been used like a Tampon and then flushed...even by Lieberman? OUCH! That's gotta hurt!

The best 4th of July present this country could have is the impeachment of Gonzales, then Cheney, then Bush by the time we set the fireworks off. Either the Boozman-Republicans in Congress come over to our side, or it's time to start warming up the angry mob.

Worst wishes to Joe Lieberman and his ilk.

A reminder......

hey Dick By Inches...Snooozzzz...Yawn....get a job lazy ass

Ah, the parrot strikes in all her wisdom. Oh there is pain. Get me the magnifying glass so I can see this monster.

Sadly, you continue to put up these typical childish outbursts that only serve to degrade you. I think it is best that we forward your latest Terrible Two tirade to Fair Tax so they can see who digs into the dirty diaper for cretinous comments when trying to serve as a true Fair Tax believer.

(It was somewhat odd that you forgot your mantra tonight. Are you a wee bit drunk or stoned or something?)

"La madame, vous êtes moins qu'une prostituée. ...you est le serviteur de prostituée. "

Barrett = Trish.

Poor thing doesn't have anyone besides socialists to play with. Hubby ran off with his own sister ... nothing much on the scanner, CB's busted, and she's almost out of cornsqueezins. Give a gal a break, fellas.

Yep, Hugh! I thought her sourmash vomitus had a familiar stench to it. I wouldn't want to toss her into a pit of vipers. The poor snakes wouldn't have a chance against this venomous wretch.

Myabe they cancelled her Assholes Anonymous meeting tonight.

Good CJ. As long as they're still torturing in Gitmo I know your type will get a good night's sleep. Crunching bones for Jesus! What's next? Tying a couple of US flags together to use as a noose?

Christ...what's happen to this country? What's wrong with you people? Bush has you so scared you'd waterboard anyone with a dark suntan.

9-11 has become a perfect excuse to let loose your racist hatred on anyone different from yourselves.

9-11 has made sadist out of people daring to call themselves Christians. Every chicken who ran from military service is now screaming "blow the bastards to bloody hell! " I've listened to my nice Republican friends talking about killing every FK'ing human in Iraq. Then they take their kids to church little league practice.

What a sick bunch... the 29%. You are the very people Osama was after, so you have a right to be scared. Your President has wiped his ass with our Constitution. Then he buried it with habeas corpus and the good reputation of our country.

Thanks to the arrogance of our own government for the last 50 years, 2750 people died in the attacks of 9-11. Thanks to the Bush administration 3512 US troops have died in Iraq. 750,000 Iraqis have died.

Isn't that enough killing to make you 29% happy? Must you wish for more torture at Gitmo and other black site prisons? How much horror is enough horror for you people?

I don't know what drives your sickness, I don't know what will cure you....if there is a God I hope he helps you see the dreadful error of your ways. You're sick......sick sick people.

Citizens' Journal, if you will post an address I'm sure we can collectively raise enough money to get you a grammar book and a dictionary.

"..from weather or not he is a.."

But, if you read and understand a book of grammar it may change your outlook. We better omit that idea. I actually enjoy the laughs your writings provide.

As for Ms Barrett I suppose with the brilliance on this site it doesn't hurt to lower the average IQ by allowing her to post.

Crock Knock..why you slime ball. Who are you to attack us? You are the biggest commie on her (next to Dick by inches) What are you doing on the computer at 2:30 in the morning? Wishing you had a man? Face it girl, you are ugly, boring and need to call it a night. Jiggs Morgan

ARK. BLOG: BJ, the juvenile name calling is getting tiresome.

We agree Brantley...starting with you and your name calling of Gov Huckabee and others...right after you Biggun'

ARK. BLOG: That is reasonably fair comment. Plenty of latitude is allowed when sharp commentary, even criticial descriptions, are used in the context of specific criticism But the nanny nanny boo boo stuff that is solely name-calling, as in your recent posts, is tiresome. And, after a time, will earn you the penalty box.

The Grim and Barrett show is steadily dropping in its ratings, for sure. You're right Max. Juvenile is the right word. It's a shame that conservatism is represented by such uncouth and uncivil people. (Same holds true for some liberal types, mind you.)
The most telling point to all her entries is that she fails to address the arguments presented to her or that she writes about something completely different to the context of the segment or ,as has become progressively worse lately, she resorts to personal attacks of a mean and vicious nature.
I hope she feels better soon and gets over this bout of adolescent crankiness. She is not doing any of her causes any good.

One of the funniest things I first encountered on the internet was this BJ-like grade-school name calling. I've yet to figure out how calling someone online a silly name...especially without offering any substantive commentary about the issue at hand...is anything but a pitiful commentary about the tragic soul who's sitting at their computer calling complete strangers stupid names.

Be careful and don't run Barrett, chasv, CJ and Prouster off.....they're all we got from the other side of the isle.

Where the AT blog once had great numbers of right-wingers...we're down to a pitiful few. I'd say we've only got about 29% of the wingers we used to have. Gone are the majority of Bush & Huck & Asa defenders. Loyalty ain't what it used to be!

Without them it's gonna be real hard to feel superior to Ecc!, Eureka, zelda and 12 or 13 others who can think and type at the same time.

Another 10 point dip in Bush's popularity and us lefties will have to divide up into pro & anti-Pryor groups and lob uglies at each other. It's probably coming anyway.

So, Barrett....eat some fruit, turn Fox News up louder and take good care of yourself. Your point of view is insane....but we need it here dog gone it! Have a medium day! Have you hugged your Bush today?

They are not gone DBI. They've just returned to "The Silent Majority" from whence they came, too embarassed by Bushco to speak up.

Thus leaving the 29% defense position to BJ and the other remaining diehard CCRRR intelligentsia.
