I agree that this scandal will have all the legs that the Dems and the media can give it. Unfortunately for them, however, the Senate is controlled by the Republicans, so the ensuing committee investigation may take some time, over six months, say? And, as with the Nick Berg video, al Qaeda may take the opportunity to remind us just why we we were considering these measures in the first place. I do think the administration should explain why they haven't set up a 'competent tribunal' to sort out the POWs, who should get Geneva protections, from the terrorists, who don't get them, and who should be interrogated. That seems the legal weak point of the administration's case.

Well, there's always this: ~~Will there be a Bush/Giuliani ticket in '04? By Jeannette Walls with Ashley Pearson MSNBC Updated: 2:56 a.m. ET Jan. 27, 2004 Will there be a Bush/Giuliani ticket in '04? msnbc.msn.com A well-placed source says that the president will “most likely” drop Dick Cheney from his re-election ticket and his first choice for a replacement is former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani. “The issue of Cheney’s health will probably be given as the reason,” says the insider. “There’s a short list of possible replacements, and Rudy is at the top of the list.” The source adds that the selection of the former New York mayor may be overridden by Bush advisors from the far right. “Giuliani has been pro-choice, pro-gay rights, and is pretty liberal on some other social issues, but the thinking is that he might broaden Bush’s appeal.” If, however, Giuliani gets bumped from the ticket, says the source, “expect him to get a prime assignment in Washington as an consolation prize.” Bush’s rep didn’t return calls, and a spokeswoman for Giuliani said, “Rudy Giuliani has been out in Iowa and New Hampshire talking about the incredible accomplishments of Vice President Dick Cheney with George Bush and working very hard to get them both re-elected.” 88888888888888888888888888 Here's his bio BEFORE 9-11.... nyc.gov 8888888888888888888888888
