No more prisoners. Like Iraq house them.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Complete insanity.

[PeoplesRepublicOfWashington]

What wimps. It won't be long before illegal combatants have more rights in this country than resident citizen taxpayers do.

"...the 500 or so detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba would be allowed to challenge in federal court."

Does this mean that each of the 500 animals will receive their own counsel? Someone please tell me this isn't the case.

[DTogo]

And still the GOP keep sending me requests for political donations. As if...

[woofie]

Will cross dressing be allowed?

[LibertarianInExile]

What a f'in joke. These people are the scum of the earth, not even willing to mark themselves as our enemies, hiding among civilians. And we extend to them the American legal system, though none of them are Americans, and every one of them would piss on our Constitution faster than you can say "Teddy is a murderer."

Dubya, give them all death sentences, sentences to be carried out immediately, and let the wuss Senate figure out how the D.C. Circuit can hear the dirtbags' appeals--assuming the @#$!@%$@# detainees can file their appeals in D.C. quicker than bullets can travel a foot.

[Road Warrior ‘04]

We need to move all of the prisoners back to Iraq and get them off of U.S. soil. The coward Republicans are letting this country, especially us, down.

[tioga]

Veto.

[Raycpa]

So, sentence them to 9 ten year consecutive sentences.

[Unicorn]

Agreement???????? sounds like aa give away.

[Bush 100 Percent]

I think this is another "feel good" measure by our Senate who are not doing their jobs, but are interfering. They dream these compromises up and vote on them. Why do we have committees? Where is the research and discussion of the issue with our Military? Where is the discussion of a WAR?

These things never turn out as they envision them - next thing you know, we'll be paying for a legal "team" for each detainee so that they can grill our soldiers and other military about why they were picking on these poor people on the battle field! Does Lindsay Graham really think they can tell the DC Circuit Court how to handle the cases once they get to them?

US Senate to US Military: Take no prisoners.

[CyberAnt]

"... the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit."


GREAT! That's where all Clinton's appointments are.

What are the senators planning .. to set the killers free ..??

[xzins]

Terrible precedent

[FairOpinion]

"A bipartisan group of senators reached a compromise Monday that would allow detainees at Guantanamo Bay to appeal the rulings of military tribunals to the federal courts. "

THE REPUBLICANS CAVED.....AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just recently an article said that the Senate agreed to NOT allow detainees to appeal to US courts, then of course the terrorist lovers and the idiots complained, so the Republican Senators fall all over themselves to cave.

It's sickening!

Don't forget the Senate recently passed 90-9 McCain's bill to prohibit not just torture, but "degrading treatment", as defined by anyone, of the terrorists and gave them the same rights as US citizens, quoting constitutional amendments, and made the UN law binding for the US, by putting into the US code.

Why don't we just surrender to the Iranian Mullahs and Bin Laden?!

[KoRn]

Why don't they just proclaim it to be September 10th 2001 day. That sure as hell how they are governing.


KEEP IT UP US SENATE!!!!


THOUSANDS OF TERRORISTS ARE DEPENDING ON YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Go Gordon]

What gives Senators the power to do this?
