		<description>WRH,
US offers not a shred of evidence that people who are labeled  &quot;enemy combattants&quot;  were US enemies.
Those resistance fighters caught or abducted, by either the warlords or US soldiers, probably have not hurt as single american in any wise.
If, inded, 10, 20,  20k, 50k, or 1 mn afghanis were plotting to bring the towers dwn or even knew ab that coming terror act [not likely; one doesn&#039;t shout such an act from rooftops], US civil courts wld have been delighted to prosecute them in a fair trial; knowing that it wld be a slamdunk case and prove to each american how right US is once again.

And US wldn&#039;t need to prosecute more than a few hundred of &#039;guilty&#039; people. The others cld have been prosecuted in afgh&#039;n or punished by US in other ways.
It is wrong to accuse afghan&#039;s civilians, fighters of the civil war, or resistance fighters against US naked aggression of wanting to destroy constitution or parts of it.
And then to conclude that these people cannot expect protection under the laws which they are out to cripple.

It is an ancient ruse to relabel and event or person [such as naming resistor a combattant and to boot, an enemy combattant; implying that a US combattant is a friendly one] and use the new invention as proof that the accuser is right.

But in a secret court, &quot;enemy combattant&quot;  is whatever the martial court says he is and how he shld be punished.
I wld assert that the torture of the kidnapped-abducted-captured men was carried out solely or mostly to drive fear-teror into every muslim who wld oppose US and not to obtain information.
It was used as prewarning: u do anything US doesn&#039;t like and we will sodomize u; piss on your qoran; debase u, etc., and release u to continue living in hell and as warning to others.
tnx</description>

		<description>Mr. Brasch I have practiced law for  25 years...so I am very familiar with the topic. I fully understand the Consitutional structure, history and tradition involved here. YOU obviously don&#039;t...nor apparently are you interested in doing any FACTUAL research and basing your opinions and writings on FACTS. &quot;America&#039;s Unpatriotic Acts&quot;?? ummm...okkkk... could you give me a citation to those I will be glad to read them...if such exist (which of course you and I both know they do not). This is simply further evidence that you are not basing your opinions on facts...but some hyper inflamed knee jerk reaction to the left wing driville you consume daily. Lincoln, FDR, Truman all used military judicial structures to arrest, detain, interrogate, try and punish military combatants. NEVER before in American history has a military combatant been given constitutional rights that you and I enjoy. Now they are. It&#039;s insane! As I said...do your research learn the facts...and let&#039;s have an informed debate on the facts.</description>

		<description>SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Russian President Dmitry Medvedev warned on Monday that climate change posed a &quot;catastrophic&quot; threat in some of the sharpest comments yet on a subject the Kremlin has often seemed reluctant to confront.

Although the United States said that the consensus amongst the 19 leaders at the weekend Asia Pacific summit in Singapore was that a climate change deal this December was unlikely, Medvedev made clear he felt it was a top priority.

&quot;If we don&#039;t take joint action, the consequences for the planet may be very distressing to the point that the Arctic and Antarctic ice can melt and change ocean levels,&quot; he said shortly before leaving Singapore.

&quot;All of this will have catastrophic consequences.&quot;  Reu

   Well the Russian leader seems to know and the Russian people how many know? In the States how many people know the truth? Let me add that for some reason these so called leaders always&#039; like to bring up sea level rise well once that sea ice is gone in about ten years not the climate but the weather in the Northern Hemisphere is going to change just a tad and crops to grow crops will be somewhat a challenge to say the least. The weather patterns Worldwide will change much, much more than they already have. Ladies and gentleman a little closer please and that noise generator pay no attention to that what I have here is a miracle and right here in my right hand is a bottle of bullshit and for the low low price just today of $9.99 it can be yours. Also my new book that will make you fabulously wealthy as Rush hold&#039;s up the book titled, The Snake, today only for the low low price of your soul. Please don&#039;t push I have enough for everybody.</description>

		<description>Sarah Palin, speaking from a hotel room here in New York City, was a guest on Rush Limbaugh&#039;s radio show today as part of her ongoing &quot;Going Rogue&quot; media blitz. She declared that Democrats are sheep, people aren&#039;t responsible for climate change, and that the GOP civil war in the NY-23 congressional election was good for the Republican Party.

The former GOP vice presidential candidate also took a couple shots at the science behind climate change and the push for alternative energy sources, calling it &quot;snake oil science&quot; and questioning whether climate change is even caused by humans.
I think there&#039;s a lot of snake oil science involved in that and somebody&#039;s making a whole lot of money off people&#039;s fears that the world is... It&#039;s kind of tough to figure out with the shady science right now, what are we supposed to be doing right now with our climate. Are we warming or are we cooling? I don&#039;t think Americans are even told anymore if it&#039;s global warming or just climate change. And I don&#039;t attribute all the changes to man&#039;s activities. I think that this is, in a lot of respects, cyclical and the earth does cool and it warms. TPM

     Oh Sarah and Rush did you happen to see this and might add from the best minds we have. That&#039;s man has taken the lid off and we can&#039;t put that lid back on again.  That&#039;s called a fact it&#039;s a nobrainer.  Anyway did anybody get the new book from Palin I hear it&#039;s quite a read.  Oh I forgot any idea what that means the lid off to late for the human race?  For some reason I always&#039; saw Rush in front of a tent with bottles of snake oil.  Ladies and gentleman please a little closer what we have here is a miracle of science.  And the show goes on the strangeness.    



&quot;It won&#039;t be very long before we have to start thinking of the Arctic as an open sea. Man has taken the lid off the northern end of his planet and we can&#039;t put that lid back on again”.   Peter Wad hams, Professor of Ocean Physics and Head of the Polar Physics Group</description>

		<description>&quot;Shouldn’t Rush have done the “right” thing and gone to prison for life when the story broke about his addiction to drugs. I mean, he very vocally called for all “addicts” to go to jail for life, maybe he should follow his own rules?&quot;

Apparently you forgot about the time when he was caught with a planeload of (illegally obtained) Viagra in his private jet, bound to prostitute-haven Dominican Republic or Costa Rica, without his (3d?) wife.   The family man, he is.  The moral man.  The man.

Or the time he told his listeners that he made his would be female employees sign a legally binding pledge that they would not get pregnant, or if they did, would not miss work or ask for (paid) time off.  The family man, I tell you.  The moral man.  The man.</description>

		<description>&quot;It wasn’t unusual that he mixed a few facts with opinion and outright lies in his three-hour daily show.&quot;  If you cared to listen (which I don&#039;t), you&#039;d find out that it&#039;s actually only 1 hour of the &quot;show&quot; (spewing sickness worse than H1N1 into the air) and 2 hours of commercials.  Yes he knows what is really important.  And, for this, he&#039;s paid 30 million a year.  Compare this to the effort, the time and the work that you do and the compensation.</description>

		<description>Actually, I did do my research, you, apparently, haven&#039;t.  Why not get a copy of AMERICA&#039;S UNPATRIOTIC ACTS and see what the Constitution and SCOTUS says about Constitutional rights, enemy combatants, and areas that you may wish to raed and learn from.</description>

		<description>Ummm...ok....so your thesis statement is ...as best as can be deduced is that Rush &quot;spoke out against the Constitution of the United States&quot; and that he &quot;mixed a few facts with opinion and outright lies&quot;.  All I was able to find in your rambling piece is persistent and pointless personal attacks on Rush. Which is not surprising. However, I would expect more meat on the bones from a learned professor of Journalism. So, where is he attacking the Consitution? The tradition in this Country is to handle &quot;foreign enemy combatants&quot; through military tribunals....not unilaterally confer on them the very Consitutional rights they seek to wipe out and ones they were never contemplated to receive. This misguided left wing political manuver will surely lead to disaster and serve no purpose other than exposing our citizens to greater danger and expose our military and civilian defense resources to danger. My humble advice is do some research...learn the facts...think and then write. Oh and avoid personal attacks....they weaken your arguments.</description>

But really, coming a man that makes fun of a person suffering from Parkinson&#039;s, and then has the nerve to actually insinuate that said person was &quot;faking&quot; or &quot;exaggerating&quot; his symptoms,  this should come as no surprise.

The only thing exaggerated is the size of Rush&#039;s big fat head.  how is it that he can spew his hate speech on syndicated radio while the rest of us can&#039;t even protest legally anymore?</description>
