RINOs out!

Thanx to SC Swamp Fox for the graphic.

Fair 'nuff. "The people" must choose what they want.

"It's unacceptable to think there's any kind of comparison between the behavior of the United States of America and the action of Islamic extremists who kill innocent women and children to achieve an objective."

He's still using the "I" word. Good. 5 years too late, but good nonetheless.

Warner, McCain, Graham, Collins.

The detainees should be placed under house arrest in the residences of these traitorous schmucks. Let the RINOs quote the Geneva Convention when protecting their families.

[plain talk]

Why not wait until after the election? If the Republicans still control Congress, issue an Executive Order and be done with it.

[StoneWall Brigade]

funny that Mccain choose the week of 9/11 to do this huh?

[gotribe]

Warner and fellow Republican Sens. John McCain of Arizona and Lindsey Graham of South Carolina have argued that changing the standard would open the door for other countries to interpret the rules on prisoner treatment in ways that could endanger captured Americans.

Please Messrs. Warner, McCain, and Graham, please tell me when American prisoners of war were last treated humanely by a nation that signed the Geneva Conventions. Germany? Japan? Korea? Vietnam? Where are these enlightened nations that treat our own so well?

[operation clinton cleanup]

Bush said the standards are so vague that CIA officers could face criminal prosecution for using interrogation techniques such as applying heat or cold to prisoners' surroundings or temporarily withholding food or light.

McCain, of all people should understand what is at stake here. This is not about beating, cutting, or electrocuting prisoners.

Awesome graphic SC Swamp Fox!

[RightWhale]

Detainee program is like prisoners, right?
Taking no prisoners now?

[melt]

There are several key differences between the Bush administration's plan and the Warner-McCain-Graham bill, but the critical impasse is about the Geneva Conventions'

Actually, the difference is in the spelling. We get to follow the Geneva convention--- while the Muslims get to follow the Gen'evil' convention.

At least these low-foreheaded RINOS are being consistent in their "feelings" that we can win an asymmetric war by losing it. I think they deserve a group hug...

Bush warns detainee program might end

NOT TRUE...IF HE CAN'T GET WHAT HE WANTS OUT OF THE SENATE [HOUSE HAS ALREADY GIVEN HIM WHAT HE WANTS]...IT WILL END!!!

[musicman]

I REALLY liked this recent FR thread:

"Tortured screams ring out as Iraqis take over Abu Ghraib"

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1699197/posts

If anyone missed it, IMHO, it is WELL worth reading (and maybe e-mailing to McCain and his "boys and girl").

[Gritty]

I say drop them off on the front porches of McCain, Warner, Graham and the rest of the Dems on this committee. Let them see how well they can handle them.

In the meantime, if there is no way we can handle these prisoners, there is no sense in taking any more.

[alloysteel]

Then, we shall simply have to turn these "detainees" over to the locals for their patented methods of information extraction. This is surely a much more humane means of obtaining intelligence.

The other choice is to release the detainees altogether. I suggest downtown San Francisco. They will be among friends there.

[FreeRep]

I believe they should take President Bush's warning seriously, the American people will not forgive them for being soft on terrorism.

[ladyinred]

My God, then things will return to the 90's and appeasement of terrorism like the Clinton's. It was his inaction that brought us 911. Is that what these traitors want?

[CPOSharky]

Pack up all the detainees and drop them off in their country of record. (If they get dropped off at altitude, all the better.)

President Bush could say something to the effect that anything that happens because of this can be laid right on the doorstep of all the judges, politicians, and other appeasers who gave the terrorists a "bill of rights."

[moonhawk]

The solution is simple, really--even the Fox babe got it right today.

Simply treat them them as ordinary POWs and tell them they will be released when the War on Terror is over. I don't think that will be anytime soon, so it's an automatic life sentence.

Don't need lawyers, or trials, or arguments with liberals from either party for that.

Do need to figure out how to interrogate them though.

[Rosemont]

Powell and McCain are Bob Woodward's kind of Conservative.

[VRWC For Truth]

McNitWit can go shove it. That treasonous bastard needs to be taken to the WOODSHED - now!
