Hi All!
Hi CC; thanks for the link.
I was thinking that all of our troops, when they win this war and come home, should run against EVERY Congresscritter and Senatecritter that voted on this bill that President Bush is going to veto....
By having our heros in Congress and Senate, we know we will have the best defense in the world.
Did anyone listen to Science channel the other night? Within 20 years China will be the World Super Power....scary isn't it?
House Democrats Vote Against Airline Passengers
House Republicans tonight surprised Democrats with a procedural vote to protect public-transportation passengers from being sued if they report suspicious activity -- the first step by lawmakers to protect "John Doe" airline travelers already targeted in such a lawsuit.
After a heated debate and calls for order, the motion to recommit the Democrats' Rail and Public Transportation Security Act of 2007 back to committee with instructions to add the protective language passed on a vote of 304-121.
Rep. Peter T. King, New York Republican and ranking member of the House Homeland Security Committee, offered the motion saying all Americans -- airline passengers included -- must be protected from lawsuits if they report suspicious behavior that may foreshadow a terrorist attack.
"The Republican motion to recommit will ensure that any person that voluntarily reports suspicious activity -- anything that could be a threat to transportation security -- will be granted immunity from civil liability for the disclosure," the memo said.
The amendment is retroactive to activities that took place on or after Nov. 20, 2006 -- the date of the Minneapolis incident, and authorizes courts to award attorneys' fees to defendants with immunity.
"By passing a specific grant of immunity that covers passengers reporting suspicious activity in good faith, we will prevent special-interest lawyers from using 'creative' legal theories to attack the well-meaning passengers who make reports," the memo said.
Nihad Awad, executive director of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), said in an open letter yesterday to the Becket Fund for Religious Liberty that "the only individuals against whom suit may be raised in this litigation are those who may have knowingly made false reports against the imams with the intent to discriminate against them."

Work needs to understand you need time to FReep.
Let's keep track of the first dems that balk re: expanding powers, intel, leaks.
Let's put Leahy on a Grayhound bus to Levinworth.
We'd be better at keeping track of leaks than Roberto Gonzales.
That's for sure.
