This administration is already comparing the 9/11 Gitmo trials to Nuremberg. Read this with an iron stomach only:

Would someone please tell me how the Congress can pass a law granting retroactive immunity to the telecoms, thereby protecting their own and Bush's butt when the Constitution specifically forbids the passage of an ex post facto law?

As far as terrorists planning attacks on the U.S., if this is so, why is Bush leaving America defenseless with all our troops and warships in the Middle East?  

There really is no need for bin Laden to do one further thing to the U.S.  George Bush and his rubber-stamp Congress (including the current one) have done it for him.  They have destroyed a great deal of America from within.  Why bother attacking us when we are doing some a damn fine job of destroying ourselves?

My dictionary defines "terrorism" as:"The use of violence or threats to intimidate or coerce, esp. for political purposes." (ref. Dictionary.com) President Bush has repeatedly used threats to get Congress to do his bidding.  He has gone on TV repeatedly and terrorized the people of America by saying that we would be the victims of violence if Congress doesn't do what he says.  I just have one question then; does this not make our president a "terrorist"?

You lost me at the #1 story.  I'll admit I'm biased because I'm a football fan and don't care for baseball, but I don't think sports stars using performance enhancing drugs is news.  Like the congressional hearings investigating this, it is merely a useful distraction, when so many other crimes need investigating, such as crimes by this criminal administration!  Steroid use in baseball is not news, it's just boring!

#3 Vote or Die--The reason Bush knows that terrorists are planning another attack on our country is because he knows who they are, he knows where they are, he knows what they're going to do, and he knows when--y'all get my drift???  I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the terrorists live in a large white house, in the most crime-ridden part of this country.

Keith, Matthews used to throw to you at the end of Hardball, then you'd throw to Abrams at the end of Countdown.  Why don't you guys do that anymore? Did one of the higher-ups decide that the show of camaraderie had to cease?
