LOL!! Where is the lie? Since you asked.... [10851] jlallen: Facts are there is plenty of dirty linen on both sides of the aisle, [10873] jlallen: There was nothing illegal about any of the contributions ENRON made as far as I know. Hence, no impropriety... [10873] jttmab: Didn't you say earlier that there was dirty linen on both sides? Are you changing your story now. [10875] jlallen: Nope. If there is anything improper, "dirty linen", jallen, you're a liar and that's a fact. jttmab

From the LA Times.....these are our "allies"; wonder what part of the Geneva Convention this threatment is in.... U.S. Forces Beat Afghans After Deadly Assault, Ex-Prisoners Say By ERIC SLATER, Times Staff Writer ORUZGAN, Afghanistan -- After killing 21 Afghans, at least some of them loyal to the U.S.-backed interim government, American forces beat and kicked some of the dead men's colleagues who were held prisoner for 16 days before being released last week with an apology, according to several of those held. The 27 men, captured during a Jan. 24 nighttime raid in which U.S. troops appear to have mistakenly targeted friendly forces in this remote village, were treated harshly at first, several of them said--with two saying they blacked out from their beatings and two others claiming they suffered broken ribs. Then the ill treatment stopped, they said, perhaps because the U.S. special operations forces realized they had captured and killed friendly troops, not Taliban or Al Qaeda fighters. On Wednesday, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld acknowledged for the first time that U.S. troops might have killed Afghan allies in the operation, and a military spokesman conceded that the detainees did not belong to either the Taliban or Al Qaeda.............. latimes.com And Rumsfeld uses "might have killed"...what crapola! jttmab

One lone soul of integrity in the GOP...from the Arizona Republic... ....He's [McCain] a Republican who doesn't toe the party line. His views often conflict with the Bush administration, particularly on the issues he feels strongest: a patients' bill of rights, and campaign finance reform. He often co-sponsors legislation with Democratic colleagues, and was one of only two Republicans to vote against Bush's massive tax cut last year. And since Sept. 11, McCain has kept the public pressure on Bush. A recent New Yorker profile details the hard fight he put up in order to place airport security under federal control. The White House wanted it under control of the profit-driven airlines. He has also opposed certain defense programs he says amount to war profiteering. In particular, he cites a $30 billion deal with Boeing, which has the military converting leased jets for use as cargo planes and transports, and then turning them back into passenger jets which Boeing can then use for profit. On Friday, McCain diverged from the Republican stance again, introducing a bill that would require auto manufacturers to improve fuel efficiency...... arizonarepublic.com That's $30 Billion of taxpayer money in the Defense Budget for the benefit of Boeing; $30 Billion that could have gone to real improvements in DoD! jttmab
