John Yoo should be dragged from his comfy confines on the Berkeley campus and subjected to the same types of treatments he claims are “not torture.” That this war criminal continues to take up space on the planet without being held accountable, as an adviser to fascist imperialism and promoter of violations of the Geneva Conventions, is testament to the demagoguery and cowardly capitulations of university administrations. Some of those detention centers being built by Halliburton will come in handy once Americans realize that the only terrorists and war criminals worth putting in prison are those who sit in supposedly esteemed places. Time to pull them from their thrones and start the fires.

I agree with the above sentiments about lawyers. They’re parasites.

If we could get rid of lawyers, politicians, entrepreneurs and priest-like shamans our world would blossom into a peaceful Garden of Eden, one without any serpents.

‘The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion, the public Safety may require it’.

The Bush administration attempts to play it both ways, citing our Constitution when it behooves them; then playing with the definitions. Bush calls it the War on Terror – although the new phrase is the ‘The War on Extremism’ – I believe. So it’s a war, right? Well, most of the world already knew that, but, in legalese, the names of things are salient.
The emerging point is if we’re fighting a war, then Guantanamo detainees are ‘Prisoners of War’, and Writ of Habeas Corpus applies.
So the Justice Department, in collusion with the Pentagon, labels them ‘enemy combatants’ – tossing Habeas out the window.
Run ‘Morris Davis’ and ‘Guantanamo’ on a news search, for more information.

The age of the Earth is 4.5 billion years. The age of the Universe is about 13.73 billion after the big bang. Now is there a god? To me is there a create tor? Well logic would say that the first atoms, hydrogen atoms had to come from some where. The question who or what. I’ll bet we are not alone in this Universe and that some are further along than us but have not answered that question.

Pat Robertson and Al Sharpton just filmed an ad for the We Campaign, sitting on a couch on the beach. In the ad, now being produced, they say that while they may not agree on many things, they do agree that they have to work to save the planet.

Pat Robertson thinks the Earth is only six thousand years old and now doing a commercial for Gore’s 300 million campaign on climate change. Somebody but myself has to find that absolutely fascinating. Then think Presidential campaign or maybe not insanity is not one of my favorite subjects. Prestigious

And this bastard teaches law at a prestigious University. It can only go downhill from now. And let’s not forget the likes of the Pat Robertson school of “law”.

If you say “lawyer” fast enough, it sounds like “liar”. That may be the origin of the word, and that’s why everything’s falling apart. Everything has been taken over by the “liars” in this country, the truth, justice and reality don’t matter any more. You can pretty much prove anything (or be prevented from proving anything) in a “court of law” (what a misnomer). And the rights or the lack thereof, are to be worked out by the more fluent “liar”. Even the ones who ostensibly work for the people are slimy bastards, getting rich off someone’s pain.

IOWA CITY, Iowa – The Bush administration is trying to stifle scientific evidence of the dangers of global warming in an effort to keep the public uninformed, a NASA scientist said Tuesday night.
“In my more than three decades in government, I have never seen anything approaching the degree to which information flow from scientists to the public has been screened and controlled as it is now,” James Hansen told a University of Iowa audience.

Information flow remember that brand of insanity from Bush and company before the Iraq war. Yes the thinking with these people looks to be above it all and we all see how well it is working out. Yes waging war in the United States the last eight years of twisted logic and misinformation.
