If Arlen Specter was looking for a good reason to join Chris Dodd and Patrick Leahy in a bipartisan effort to undo the damage that John McCain, Lindsey Graham, and John Warner just did in throwing away habeas corpus to please George W. Bush and Dick Cheney, this is it: the vast majority of “enemy combatants” and “vicious killers” we have detained at Guantanamo and black sites around the globe these last four years without due process or legal representation are innocent and routinely set free when they arrive home.
And yes, I want Democrats to hang this atrocity around John McCain's neck the next two years as an example, along with his push for more troops in Iraq, of the lengths he will go to become president.

SENATOR TIM JOHNSON TARGET OF ASSASSINATION ATTEMPT.
It can now be reported that Senator Tim Johnson (D. SD) has been a victim of an attempted assassination. Johnson sits on the Banking Committee in the U.S. Senate and he had been investigating the role of BNL Bank, both the Chicago and New York Federal Reserve Banks, HSBC, and the noted Kissinger Associates and their direct ties to pre-9/11/01 suspicious financial activity.

Biloxi,
I believe it's time to Impeach!
The NeoConJobs are done..
We're gonna have to Recover that Medal Given to Rumpelt and put him in a nice 4x4 Prison Cell.
The Teacher's coming with the Paddle and She's MAD!!
Anthony,
I am sure that Tim Johnson is well protected. Notice that the chimpster and the GOP jumped on the bandwagon with a shovel thinking that Mr. Johnson is going to die. I am sure that Tim Johnson with his wife and family and his friend, Harry Reid have prepared to any worse case if anything happens. And yes, I saw an article about a possible attack on Johnson.. Like anything we need more evidence on that.
GEF:
As we both discussed, all eyes arw in Cheney, the co-President. You remove the strong link in that WH and then the blowup doll President Gerbil is finished. If I were the Gerbil and the Ambien, I would be really afraid of Feingold, Waxman, Pelosi, and Conyers Jr.. They all have beeen working behind close doors to dismantle the WH. As far as impeachment, people have been signing petitions to have the Gerbil removed and the Ambien removed. So, those petitions will be giving to 109th Congress.. As I mention before, the Gerbil will be gone...
One can only wonder what if those detainees were Americans held by another country what would the US do. Look for alot of lawsuits. I couldn't even think about being held for three years without charges and no attorney while being tortured by the United States of America. What does Liberty and Freedom really mean in the United States?
