Everyone Knows

*A revealing article from the Arts And Ideas section of the Moscow Times. Everywhere one looks, there is the Evil Bush and his criminal doings.

If President George W. Bush shows no qualms about violating the 217-year-old U.S. Constitution or the 791-year-old Magna Carta, why should we be surprised to find that he is now violating the 2,400-year-old Hippocratic Oath?
*
Last week Bush turned the screws even tighter on his Gitmo trash, signing a law that strips the captives of the ancient right of habeas corpus, which predates the Magna Carta. They are to have no access to the legal system, not even a simple declaration of why they are being held. What's more, last week Bush also asserted his right to ignore an anti-torture law he had just signed.
*
But just how far does the "Commander's" torture authority reach? To the crushing of an innocent child's testicles. So says John Yoo, the former deputy assistant attorney general who helped craft the official White House "torture memos" that justified any torture short of permanent maiming or death -- and even countenanced the latter if it was "unintentional."

And a few more sites, just in case the truth has a harder time getting through to some than others.

All i can say is i want to cry for them who are hert in this stupid so called war on freedom as i watch more and more true freedoms get taken from people world wide.
I really have to wonder about the free medical/dental care that the children in camp Iguana get when our own citizens and residents don't get the same "Socialist" benefits. Maybe Bush accidentally on purpose forgot to authorize the use of pain killers.
