What a horrible tale, set in the Bible belt, its natural home, but one that would not be out of place anywhere in America now.

You are the victim of sick minds who think imposing their will on others endears them to Jesus. I daresay a good number of your tormentors are themselves perverts and pornographers. One can only imagine what they do with the photos in their private dens. I wager someone will put them into the stream of illicit commerce.

You are lucky to be living in France, an enlightened and civilized country.

This luncheon sounds like a case of mite is rite to me.

Waterboard the bastards.

is presumptively Cheney, as anyone who has been awake at all the past six years would know. Without expressly excluding Bush administration officials as its source, ABC has no credibility for this story. In fact, the opposite is more likely the truth.

would tell me if it was Saddam or Clinton put the bentonite in the dog food that killed old Shep.

and all the rest of you Second Amendment lovers! You have your little fantasies about resisting tyranny with your weapons. Well, George W. Bush has pissed on your First Amendment rights, shat on your Fourth Amendment rights, wiped his ass with your habeas corpus rights and shredded your right to have your duly elected representatives declare war. Why don't you take your big manly guns and do something about it? Well, why doncha, punks? Pussies.

when Abu cited Iglesias' failure to report Domenici's improper contact as a ground for firing him? In other words, "You're fired because you didn't report to us our improper pressuring of you to indict Democrats now!"

to pick up on this shit and say in one of his blab fests that "We know Saddam had WMD."

you're part of it.

Slackie Onassis is right. And unless we want to face the son of the son of Iran-Contra in 20 years, there must be impeachments, indictments, convictions and hard time served.

Sounds like the reviewer neglected to listen to this album under proper circumstances, i.e. with marijuana accompaniment, the crucial instrument for music appreciation in this case. Also, the great thing about the Beatles is that they saved popular music from rock 'n roll.

I doubt the press or public would squawk much if Bush had a Democratic politician arrested and treated like al-Marri. You wouldn't even need to watch cable TV or listen to talk radio to know how they would spin and justify it.

Technically, tragedy requires something like nobility to start with. Then comes the fall. Bush, however, started as a pile of shit. His fall is no tragedy. It is fun to watch, though.

". . . prison is simply not the place for the most powerful and entrenched members of the Beltway royal court."

This is true. They belong (a) against a wall facing a firing squad, (b) at the end of a rope, (d) on a water board, or (e) hell, why not, beheaded on YouTube.

The reasonable conclusion based on current evidence is that the Bush regime is spying against its political enemies. If this were not so and they are spying only on "al Qaeda," then why not get approval from the FISA court, which everyone agrees would be given in a heartbeat?

I say al-Qaida . . . . Has anyone done a study of the spelling used by the press in its current propaganda campaign to paint all insurgents in Iraq as al Qaeda, as compared with variant spellings used earlier? A single spelling now would point to a single source. Wonder what that could be . . . .

Lack of standing is the specious legal doctrine federal courts use in the interest of ideology to deny people a chance to be heard when their interest in the case (their "standing") is abundantly clear from the time, expense and bother they have endured in bringing the action.

The big dollar American reporters, news readers and pundits are like reverse toilets: you press the lever and . . . . Oh, forget it. I'm going back to my cave, a cable-free zone.

and are accessories to his crimes.

Any reasonably bright high school sophomore with a $400 computer and 30 minutes of dial-up internet time knew that Saddam had no WMD. George "We're kickin' ass" Bush, on the other hand, is immune from questions of premeditation because he has no concept of knowledge and ignorance (just as Reagan could not really be said to lie because he had no concept of truth and falsity). Premeditation or no, Bush is still a war criminal and a terrible indictment of the American people, who allowed this monster to be installed as president by five political hacks on the Supreme Court. May that body forever live in infamy!

Any wretch who's been through a year of law school with normal cognitive powers intact knows that the Supreme Court is not a court but a priesthood. They don't do law there. They enforce economic orthodoxy. There are occasional spasms of conscience where crumbs from the table of plenty are allowed to fall on the masses, but you'd be foolhardy to rely on anything good coming from that venue. Recall that it was a majority of political hacks on that court who installed the monster war criminal who rules us today.

If you ask me, Petraeus wants to run for president some day and has his self interest as much at heart as the suck-up tendency to which he is also prone.

I'm surprised so many Columbia students are suckers for Bush regime propaganda. Columbia students weren't so dumb during the 'Sixties and our war against Vietnam. We need the draft back to hone their thinking!

Never forget that it was a majority of partisan hacks and nepotists on the Supreme Court who put this monster in place. May their names live in infamy! (Rehnquist, O'Connor, Thomas, Scalia, Kennedy)

The Vichy Democrats would rather be seen as soft on fascism than soft on terrorism, but fascism is our immediate problem. It comes from within.
