"I support the idea of military tribunals. I think it is absolutely appropriate. We are facing extraordinary times which demand extraordinary measures. We do have historic precedent,"

Hillary is a long-term thinker, folks. She tried to join the Marines back in the 1970s, knowing full it would help debunk future charges of being anti-military.

She knows perfectly well what she's doing. In this case, she knows full well these "military tribunals" will serve her well should she becomes president.

Funny thing is, when she uses these "military tribunals" for her own purposes, most conservatives won't be able to say a d@mn thing (with any credibility) since most are gung-ho on the idea now.

There are far too many myopic individuals on the Right. Those of us asking to "slow down" on the recent government power grab are not doing so to weaken Bush. We're doing so because we know Bush isn't going to be in there forever.

Rarely is something abused by its inventor. It's the people that come after we have to worry about.

Yep, I fully expect that Hillary will manage to come up with creative ways to use the new FBI/CIA/Justice Department powers as well as finding uses for military tribunals when she grabs the presidency.

Do I think Americans are stupid enough to elect Hillary? Unfortunately, I do. I didn't think NY'ers were stupid enough to elect Hillary to the Senate - suprise - I fully expect to be suprised again.

I am terrified of the additional damage this woman can/will do to the Constitution. It's already been weakened by the war on poverty, the war on drugs, and now the war on terrorism, etc. I'm sure Hillary is drooling over the chance to finish off the Constitution and move us to a more Socialist country.

Wasn't she too old to sign up at the time and don't you think she knew it beforehand? She is not to be trusted. Ever.
