Important information the next time someone tries to argue against Habeas Corpus and actual Justice in relation to Guantanamo Bay:

A new report from the Seton Hall University School of Law explodes the myth that some 30 detainees released from Guantanamo Bay prison have “returned to the [...]

(Jellyfish: Exactly the same amount of vertebrae as the Democratic Party)
I can’t really write about the FISA events of the day without getting in a rage, but if you don’t know what happened today, if you don’t know that the 4th Amendment has been gutted and that the Congress has just sent a message to [...]

The other day I read a piece by Laura Flanders in which she wondered, in the wake of Tim Russert’s death, what would happen if journalists demonstrated the same level of emotions and pain toward other deaths, asking:
I know it’s possibly a subversive thought for all those deluded believers of objectivity in journalism — and [...]

Yeah - McCain used the word “trollop.” The gall of him.

How do you think Mr. Limbaugh would respond if a bunch of Democrats started riots at the Republican National Convention in order to sow fear and chaos in the minds of the American public? Don’t you think he would find that kind of behavior to be un-American at best? In fact, I would bet money [...]

So, I’m in the midst of writing an indignant post about a quote I saw in Newsweek and I decided to look at the primary text that they are referencing and damn if it didn’t turn out that Newsweek, by changing one word in a quote by McCain, completely turned around the meaning of his [...]
