<<Yup, because as usual the liberal left overplayed their hand. The Webb campaign and liberals are now using Allen's mom as a political prop. I doubt it's going to go over well. >>

::Don't you think it's the Allen camp that is milking the Jewish mother question for all it's worth, so that Allen can appear to be the victim of intolerance instead of the racist little shit that he really is?  And so that the whole "macaca" thing will fade away?::

I think so, yes.  It's funny to see this spin on it, though.  Pathetic, but what else can you expect from another Coca-Cola cowboy?

White House wants tribunals in which the accused can't see the evidence against him.  Because it's too classified.  That would be an "irregularity" in a trial, I'd think.
We have a system of law and we're turning it upside down here.  No, we have not put to death anyone  (other than torture that went too far) because we have not tried ANYONE.  We simply let them stay in prison.
That's just a start.   I'm not going to explain the administration's desires regarding how to try these people...I couldn't if I wanted to, and many people have written about them.

from truthout:
  "The proposed tribunals would largely hew to those that the Supreme Court rejected in June. The measure says Congress would, by approving the proposed tribunals, affirm that they are constitutional and comply with international law, which the Supreme Court said they did not."

'"I do not think we can afford to again cut legal corners that will result in federal court rejection of our work," Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, said."
  Mr. Graham emphasized again on Wednesday that the military justice system outlined ways to allow classified evidence to be introduced without jeopardizing national security.

    "I do not believe it is necessary to have trials where the accused cannot see the evidence against them," he said.

    He predicted that this would make the bill vulnerable to more court challenges and that it would establish a bad precedent that could be used against American troops if other countries brought them to trial. In the bill, the administration says military laws for courts-martial were inappropriate for terrorists. To use those rules, the measure says, "would make it virtually impossible to bring terrorists to justice for their violations of the law of war."[........]

RR, do you have a source for MoveOn.org being against fighting in Afghanistan? I don't remember that to be the case.

Gas price decline may spur inflation

By Barbara Hagenbaugh, USA TODAY

WASHINGTON — The recent sharp decline in gasoline prices may help consumers. But it also may stoke inflationary fires, perhaps forcing the Federal Reserve to raise interest rates again later this year, some economists, such as those at Merrill Lynch and the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, say.

Yes, that awful mainstream liberal Wall Street, and those awful liberal Merrill Lynch people, and those ULTRA liberal people at the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi.
Why oh why do they hate America? WHY?

............'European scientists voiced shock today as they viewed pictures which showed Arctic ice cover had disappeared so much last month that a ship could sail unhindered from Europe's most northerly outpost to the North Pole . . .

Perennial sea ice -- thick ice that is normally present year-round and is not affected by the Arctic summer -- had disappeared over an area bigger than the British Isles, ESA said.

Vast patches of ice-free sea stretched north of Svalbard, an archipelago lying midway between Norway and the North Pole, and extended deep into the Russian Arctic all the way to the North Pole, the agency said in a press release.

"This situation is unlike anything observed in previous record low-ice seasons," said Mark Drinkwater of ESA's Oceans/Ice Unit.'.............

As I recall, it was quite the issue during Kerry's campaign.  And it was brought up about Madelyn Albright, too. 

They asked Kerry and Albright about their mother's religion? I don't remember it - got a link?

Note, I did not say they asked them about their mothers' religion.
