Free Republic

Am I missing this, where does this say that he is a black man? All it says is a hate crime.

Why did Bush sign this when he no-doubt knew it would be quickly challenged? What happened to principled leadership? It's one of two things, either GWB is truly a idiot who has totally alienated the GOP's values. Or if we are lucky it's just a ploy to take ammo away from the democRATs arguments knowing that it would be trounced by the supreme court later on. I think it's more than likely the first. :(

My thoughts exactly, I have no doubt that this was a completely political deal. The president is not stupid and neither are any of his advisors!

Bruce Willis I have heard as well as Bo Derek....

Exactly what would be said if the tables were turned.......

Reguarding the "how do we know that was not Spann's bullet in ratboy's leg" According to U.S. News and Meet the Press this is Tim Russert's description of what happened asking Dick Cheney on Dec 9th. It reads "In the back courtyard, some where being interrogated by two American CIA agents. One to fhte Americans, known as Mike, asked a captive why he came to Afghanistan. The answer was short and direct:`We are here to kill you!' With that, the prisoner leapt at his questioner, Mike Spann and beat, kicked and bit him todeath. That sparked an all-out revolt. For three days , some 500 imprisoned Talibs." including Walker, "bent on fighting to the death, barricaded themselves inside the 19th centry fortress and battled it out." In my opinion if that is an accurate account of what happened and Mike Spanns bullet is in ratboys leg, it is self-defense!!!!!!!!! Reguarding Mrs. Spann, The first Mrs. Spann recently died after a battle with cancer. Leaving their child reportily with Shannon Spann (widow) and their young son, less than a year old I believe.

This is a scary time to not know exactly what has cause a rash in hundreds of children in several schools.

Please help here, I am confused. I read and heard on the Meet the Press with Dick Cheney(can't remember the date) that Walker is responsible for the death of Mike Spann. I don't have the transcrpipt here to quote but it was something to the effect of 'I am here to kill Americans then lept at Spann, beginning the prision revolt by kicking, beating, and biting.' This was taken from a Newsweek burb I believe. My question is this..Did anyone else pick up on that? and Why is he only charged with conspiracy? I do understand that they can add charges but why not if they have gone to the "rocket-docket" court in Virgina? Thanks for the help....
