Heavens To Betsy - Rummy Lied
Think Progress has a video clip of Rummy being called out on his lies leading up to the war in Iraq
Sheehan Arrested
Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. Franklin
According to this story on yahoo news Cindy Sheehan has been arrested for failing to cover up antiwar sayings on her shirt, while preparing to listen to tonights SOTU speech.
It sure looks like they are well into their attack on to our Constitution. With his illegal spying they have already violated the 4th amendment. Arresting Cindy Sheehan for the words written on her shirt looks like the 1st amendment is no longer a certainty.
Dissent Is Patriotic
As the 56 original signers of our declaration of independence knew dissent is patriotic. If Cheney is afraid that criticism of the administrations oil war is hindering their efforts, maybe they should re-examine their war. Of course morale will go down as the troops realize that they have been lied to, and are stuck beyond their initial enlistment period in a foreign country, getting shot.
Closed Sessions
Contact Harry Reid let him know his actions today are appreciated by the american public.
He called for closed senate sessions to look into the CIA Leak (First White House staffer indicted in 135 years) and faulty Pre-war Intelligence.
What he has accomplished is to push the nomination of S. Alito out of the news and focus on the lies told to us by Bush and his administration to goad us into bush’s oil war.
Frist, who has been stonewalling on looking into these allegations is quite upset, and not afraid to whine about it in public. ” Never have I been slapped in the face with such an affront to the leadership of this grand institution.”
The Dems need to make this issue very clear. The congress must investigate how the war was “sold” to the American people. Reid’s dramatic gesture highlights the fact that Senator Roberts and the GOP are not living up to their promise to investigate this. This is all part of the GOP machine that is complicit in the quagmire in Iraq. http://www.dailykos.com/comments/2005/11/1/144248/886/127#127
