LOL -- yeah, sort of like posting to myself.

would undermine the credibility of the court.

Like the Kelo decision didn't do that already!!

[Txsleuth]

Good...I usually either change the channel or mute her.

In a letter Friday to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, Graham asked Rice, who this week defended the president's plan as legally sound, whether she would be comfortable with Iran imposing a similar restriction if trying a CIA paramilitary operative.

Yes, because it would be a major advance over the hostage taking, beheading and murder that generally takes place there.

There's going to be a fight on the floor of the Senate.

If the republicans give these terrorists civil rights .. then they are toast

If that happens .. then have to do everything we can to save the House from Dems hands

[YOUGOTIT]

Warner as well as Sens. John McCain, R-Ariz., and Lindsey Graham, R-S.C are all covert left-wing fascist anti-Americans who have shown their true colors and are now supporting the terrorist. One solution would be to let the terrorist go and put them in their states with border guards that would not let them out of that state.

[Mo1]

When is this floor fight (vote) to take place?

The Senate goes out of session at the end of the month .. so that leaves 2 weeks

[ErnBatavia]

"Senator Clinton? About those FBI files we know you don't really - really? - have...."

[tiredoflaundry]

Mo, did you just hear on Fox that Durbin & Kennedy want to investigate the letter David Gregory talked about yesterday? The one where he said that someone tried to force some Jags in signing a letter at a meeting?

[Mo1]

No I didn't hear that ... Gregory made that claim?

[onyx]

Right -- this vote is anticipated early next week.

[SE Mom]

The House is our only hope ANYWAY. With Republican senators like this...the Dems are already leading the Senate.

[Mo1]

McCain, Gobber and Warner could cost Republican Senators their seats

If I was those senators running for office .. I'd be pretty ticked off at them

[tiredoflaundry]

Gregory asked Tony about it yesterday. Tony said he did not know of any meeting. Now Kennedy & Durbin want to questions these Jags to see if the WH is "strong arming" the Jags.

[Mo1]

that smells

[Mo1]

plus it is just a political stunt before the election .. kind of like the Wilson investigation

[tiredoflaundry]

Ya think? /sarc

[Wild Irish Rogue]

" This is sickening - that a US Senator would 1.) draw a comparison between a CIA undercover operative and a terrorist pig, and
2.) think that Iran would afford any kind of a fair trial should said operative actually be caught in an act of sabotage or other violence."

Yesterday Graham said this:
" " ..... There's plenty of examples in Somalia and other places where the Geneva Conventions have inured to our benefit. "

Like Mogadishu I guess.

Graham continues to make such bizarre and incomprehensible statements that I question his IQ and his sanity.

[Howlin]

Her pants are entirely TOO short!

This will lead to only 1 true solution: When out in the field and you are faced with a terrorist you "SHOOT TO KILL"...a dead terrorist tells no tales and if there are witnesses around, shoot them too. I'm so disgusted that Arizonians (NOT me) voted this loser back into the senate in 2004; MCCain needs to be retired and soon!
