Am I missing something or did the Military Commissions
Act pass the Senate using fuzzy math?
Please explain to me how 65 votes out of 99 Senate votes
cast equals two thirds majority? Seems they missed by one vote.
breezed through the House of Representatives with a passing vote. Such
luminaries as Florida representative, Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, self-styled
critic of Cuba' s torture regime, voted to continue the US
government-sponsored torture sessions at Quantanamo prison in Cuba. Not
content with Gitmo, IRL and her co-conspirators voted to add MORE torture
provisions to the US government here in the country that
gave her shelter. From torture.
Bill. Championed by other victims of torture like John McCain, they
followed the example of Ros-Lehtinen, figuring that what was good for
Communist military dictatorships overseas must be good for America .
graves of REAL patriots like Madison, Jefferson and Franklin, and passed a
bill into law allowing state security (SS) orgs to arrest anyone,
torture them and hold them indefinitely without recourse.
Here are the House votes (HR 6166) and the US Senate votes (S3930).
if one senator abstained. Correct? GOP Senators Chuck Hagel (R-Neb.),
Lincoln Chafee (R-R.I.) and Olympia Snowe (R-Maine) signaled their support
but, at the last minute, Snowe dodged the vote by being absent.
Guess the good people of Maine must have flooded her office with calls.
Thank you Maine .
Senate Armed Services Committee outlining their objections to the bill
(But, who gives a damn what high-ranking military leaders think, right?)
They rightly believed the bill would put U.S. military
personnel---captured soldiers as prisoners of war--- at risk in current
and future military conflicts. Some expressed their concern that
the bill would weaken the moral authority of the U.S. in the War
on Terror.
authority, and having no grasp of history or the US Constitution (That
goddamned piece of paper), decided to vote for 666, otherwise known as the
Military Commissions Act.
it seems as if the Act never passed and whatever goddamned piece of paper
GWB signed into law was illegal.

Report, commentator Keith Olbermann chided President Bush for signing the
Military Commissions Act of 2006 into law.
Olbermann's commentary, a recent MSNBC news article printed excerpts which
we certainly find to be right on target:
We have lived as people in fear. And now – our rights and our freedoms in peril – we slowly
awake to learn that we have been afraid of the wrong thing.
Therefore, tonight, we have become the true inheritors of our
American legacy.
For, on this first full day that the Military Commissions Act is in force,
we now face what our ancestors faced, at other times of
exaggerated crisis and melodramatic fear-mongering:
A government more dangerous to our liberty, than is the enemy
it claims to protect us from. http://www.jbs.org/node/1452
of 2006 (MCA). Though its title refers to military commissions, the new
legislation does much more than authorize and establish procedures for
military tribunals of foreign terrorist suspects. As Congress’s first
comprehensive foray into detainee policy, it affects an array of important
issues, including the role of U.S. courts in protecting the fundamental
rights of detainees, the implementation of the Geneva Conventions under
U.S. law, and the prosecution of abuses by U.S. officials.

34 Senators voted No while Olympia Snowe remained a no show. So, it seems as if the Act never passed and whatever goddamned piece of paper GWB signed into law was illegal. mmmhmmm...what's new?
The Mossad in the CIA It might be of public interest to know that a significant number of Israeli Mossad agents are now working in the United States as employees of the Central Intelligence Agency. These agents, some of whom are listed below, are initially paid by the Israeli Embassy in Washington but Israel then bills the U.S. Government for the salaries and is reimbursed in full on a monthly basis. Here is a partial listing of identified Mossad agents (as of 1 January, 2007) along with their dates of birth and salaries. They do not have American Social Security numbers and do not pay American taxes. Gadi Regev 12/17/1975 $63,000 per annum Most of these U.S.-subsidized spies live in Potomac, McLean, Georgetown and Arlington. I have their addresses and these will be published in a follow-up article. These are Israeli citizens but many of the middle level CIA officials are American-born Jews and not included in this list but we do know who they are. All of them, without exception, work for Israel and Israeli interests, not American interests and more than a few are known to be friendly with a number of the so-called Neocons, a significant number of whom are also Israeli citizens. "You can not save the Constitution by destroying it."
No grandchildren, no problem.
I halfway suspect that they smoke. I've gotten dozens of letters from people who smell cigarette smoke when they are around. If they do smoke, it is going to freak a lot of people out totally, including me. Can you imagine finally getting to go to the mothership and discovering that the place is full of cigarette smoke? That they smoke like coneheads and they don't care about cancer?
