You may not have noticed, but there are some changes afoot that you might like to know about. First, John Edwards, on the Washington Post.com site wrote in part: "I was wrong...it was a mistake to vote for this war in 2002"... That may not seem significant, but he is the first Democrat to make that statement. There will be others. You may want to get onboard this train now. There are many of us who have been saying this since 2002, but we welcome one and all.
Second, when VP Cheney says Enhanced Interrogation Techniques, he means TORTURE. Changing the words does not change the facts.
Third, tonight a new compromise bill concerning Guantanamo has been agreed to. The bill will grant Gitmo detainees automatic access to the courts where they are sentenced to 10 years or more. And the courts could have discretion to hear lesser sentences.
Thought I'd just put this in, Senator Harry Reid (NV), with several of his colleagues, have issued a short preamble to an upcoming Plan to get out of Iraq. Since Bushco got us into that mess, it would be appropriate for him to come up with an actual plan to get the hell out. I'm sure they were just waiting around for the right time. But, just in case, the Democrats will give him some assistance. 'Cuz you know, it's like...hard work. No more BUSHIT!! Let's start arranging for those young folks to come home.
Sincerely,
tsilaicos
