It's an incredibly dark day for America, and I was shocked to read the spin in USA Today, "oh, they can try the prisoners now".

That's not the main story, USA Today.

I swear, theonion.com is a MUCH more reliable source of news than USA Today. And the Sift pwns all.

Tags changed from "olbermann, bush, habeus corpus" to "olbermann, bush, habeas corpus" by gold star member rickegee.

"The Congress just gave the President despotic powers".

Appropriate for a despot, and appropriate for the worst President in the history of the United States of America.

The US is the greatest country in the world, but Bush, Cheney and their ilk are doing their best to destroy all of that. At this rate, they might just succeed in our lifetimes.

Please pay no attention to the man behind the hurtin'.

Ya know, I could see the value in only electing people who have served in the military - not these chickenhawks. Reagan got his ideas from movies. This Administration gets them from 24.

The MCA is actually a small victory for the Terrorists' Rights movement. If you hate Bush you should be happy, since he can't now trash terrorists like pit bull chew toys.

We're too kind to this enemy.

QM, most of the population of the world hates Bush - he's the REAL enemy.

I pity those of you who continue to support the "Asses Of Evil" (Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld), because one day you're finally going to have to admit to yourselves what unbelievable fools you were.

>>> "Most of the world" is either run by despots who would have you and your entire family killed for looking at them funny, or by European ponces who believe the State has more rights than the individual, which means they own you and can take everything from you if and when they feel like it.

>>> Europe has two choices, awaken from its socialist haze or get used to bowing 5 times a day, as arriving hordes of Muslim immigrants slowly kill off Western Civilization there.

>>>>> The governments of the rest of the world, minus a few ballzout allies like Japan, suck. Without America to stand up for what is right, the entire world would already be speaking German, Russian or Farsi.

>>>> Your pity is wasted. I think the War on Terror will eventually end in a way similar to the Cold War. At the 'end of the day,' when islamofascism is crushed to irrelevancy, the (phony) peaceniks will finally admit the enemy was, in fact, evil, and pretend they were for the war all along (a lot of American liberals today pretend to have been Cold Warriors).

>>>> I blame the American government school system for the ignorance of American youth regarding American history. From grade school forward they (you?) were taught to always blame America first and see things though an anti-American prism. It's a disgrace.

>>>> We were not given a choice by muslim extremists to peacefully coexist. Now they will reap the holy fire they so richly deserve.

'shroomy,

the only person ignorant of American history is you. you know what is anti-American? torture, repeal of habeaus corpus, round-about of posse comitatus, fascism, free-speech zones, militarized police, "patriot" act, huge national debt, foreign trade deficit, corporate welfare, etc.

Also you should actually read the MCA since you have no concept what it entails. Anyone can now be kept indefinately without any thing but an eventual military tribunal that is arbitrarily convened any time in the future. And if you die from torture, that's ok, cause nothing is illegal now as long as you don't penetrate someone's anus. There doesn't even have to any evidence against you, cause that is classified. Are you a citizen, doesn't matter, cause you'll never see a court to prove you might be illegally detained.

You sir are un-American for your misguided faith in retards like Bush. Are you saying the Constitution is un-American? Because trashing the Constitution is what you support. Your Christian jihad has pissed all over the founding document of this country. I pray that you are detained as an enemy combantant in some hell hole with no way out.

I don't understand why the DNC hasn't leapt on this and made it the biggest issue of this election, as I believe it should be. This has got to be the scariest aspect of life in the gilded cage to date.
