Everyone who thinks the Bush Administration has stopped these "standard operating procedures", just because the Supreme Court told them to, raise your hand...

Yea, it's unfortunate that now we are associated with people being detained incommunicado, interrogated, and abused.

About all the founding hopes and ideals of America are now pretty much destroyed and these stains will now be embedded in our history.

The only hope to turn them around is to elect Obama.

McCain will surely send us sinking lower and lower into this real fascism.
