Shamefull
WASHINGTON, June 5 — A day after two military judges ruled against the Bush administration’s system for trying terrorism detainees, Democrats seized on the rulings on Tuesday as evidence that Congress should restore the right of those held at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, to challenge their detentions.
Senator Harry Reid, the Nevada Democrat who is the majority leader, said he would be willing to bring such legislation to the floor. The Senate Judiciary Committee is preparing to approve such a plan on Thursday.
Senator Patrick J. Leahy, the Vermont Democrat who is chairman of the Judiciary Committee, said the rulings on Monday in two cases added urgency to the push to restore detainees’ right to file habeas corpus suits. Congress eliminated that right last year while redesigning the military tribunals after the Supreme Court struck down the first plan.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat who is a member of the Judiciary Committee, said, “The denial of habeas corpus is a mistake.â€
Ms. Feinstein said there should also be a vote as part of that bill to close the Guantánamo detention center. “After this year, I don’t think Guantánamo makes a great deal of sense, if it ever did at all,†she said.
Tell you what, let’s close it down, and move the inmates to a holding facilities near the homes of Feinstein, Reid, and Leahy, which will be built for the occassion. Plus, how about a holding facility near the Senate building, just to let them know the reality? They can see the faces of hate every day as they walk take their big gas burning, chauffer driven vehicles to work.
While I am questioning Democrats patriotism, here is a story from last week. Apparently, theACLU still fails to notice the word "America" within their name
WASHINGTON — Boeing has been sued by suspected Al Qaida operatives transported by the CIA to Arab countries for interrogation and torture.
The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a federal lawsuit against Boeing subsidiary Jeppesen Dataplan on behalf of three Al Qaida suspects transported by the CIA under the so-called "extraordinary rendition program."
I’d question which side the ACLU is on, but, I think we already know.
the Good LT at The Jawa Report, who writes "They are actively representing the people who killed us on 9-11-01. They’re not dissenting"
