Don't look for many to visit the US as their fingerprints will be used by crooks.
Most of those help in Gitmo are innocent and the US knows it their just to scared to admit the truth.

I guees people who hire prostitutes most be charged just as long as their not Republicans. Lying working in the case of Spitzer as Americans fell hook line and sinker.

Rush just wants the attention he knows the Republican Party is gone.

Look for the Bush Administration to secretly pardon their friends before they close the door on Jan 20th.

I don't look for many tourists here with this new method of fingerprinting. Even Waterflake is pretty P.O. on this situation as she travels.

As far as the 93 year olds caught in postitution probe? Prostitution has no color line nor age limit involvement. The best that two people will get is at least a year in prison or some kind of probation.
