Hey all,
David - it certainly seems to be true - although there are people of
what some
might call stature who are saying it. Clinton is against it. Scads
of military
types too. The serious disappointment here is Senator Reid. Even
without the
habeas bit it would be worth filibustering for only 4 more days fer
chrissakes.
And no Republicans. And no one with serious face time in the MSM.
I'm looking
at *you* evening anchors.
Thank goodness my leader (Harper) only has a minority government
otherwise, good
little lapdog that he is, the same stuff would happen here. Who
knows, our
unelected senate might refuse to endorse it.
Cheers,
Chris

Forgive me for laughing. You want somebody of "stature" to stand
up to
the bullies and a**holes who can't see how torture degrades them in
the
eyes of the world?
The problem is that "stature" today means a well-known person who has
made a career ov being an opportunistic suck-up to the rich and
powerful. Someone who lacks personal courage and builds his
reputation
by paying image consultants like people used to pay hairdressers.
Being saved by a coward seems unlikely.
