Lies About Terrorists
This is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen. Bionic arms that work. Welcome to Bladerunner.
Colin Powell recently voiced his disapproval with the Administration’s plans to rewrite the War Crimes Act and enact new legislation to protect interrogators from criminal charges. There is also some indication there was concern in the Justice Department and the JAG Corps.
Fred Barnes also reiterates after an interview with the president that bringing Osama bin Laden to justice just isn’t a big priority for him.
The UN International Atomic Energy Commission recently complained to the Bush Administration about the deceitful analysis of Iran’s capabilities issued by the republican-controlled House Intelligence Committee. The House report was written by a single republican staffer and it was not reviewed by the full committee.
The “liberal” media once again fail to challenge factual inaccuracies of the Bush Administration, giving a platform to people like Rush Limbaugh but failing to host a liberal voice. Tony Snow ignores the deceitful record of the administration in alleging Hussein shielded Zarqaqi.
Homeland Security Secretary Chertoff asserted that protecting every target in the US would be too expensive, a bland generalization that cloaked the truth: We are spending half a cent on every mass transit rider for security measures while we spend $9 for every airline passenger, even as terrorists have recently targeted rail and bus riders.
Glenn Greenwald covers the passage of the Specter Bill and a couple of others through the Senate Judiciary Committee.
