The Fox-Train was funnier here in yurope much before Gingrich (french upbringing) made the american deal with (australian) Murdoch. Smart guy(s), he(they) knew the fertile meadows of funny two-party systems. dl.zvuki.ru 8. The Freedom Train(Benny GOODMAN, Peggy LEE, Margaret WHITING, Johnny MERCER And Pied PIPERS) plus that "espace" thing?? Is he really going to Mars, with that deficite?? (however, two-party-systems have never known any Pavlovian limits, while one-party-systems did and does, said the Crow, who had been around and all over the globe) However, in just some 200-300 years, I am sure there will be many more changes of both the US telecommuniation act of 1996 and the SAT tests. ..

Yup, that's the way it is... My guess is that the CIA and Bush Texas mafia muzzled the so called liberal outlets that you mention. Heck, by now, they probably have CIA staffers over impersonating the talking heads on Fox too! My goodness, how far does this all go? LOL Anyone else notice that they replaced Neil Cavuto with some copycat guy right out of Langley? lol >> To: tsigprofit who wrote (15925) 3/18/2005 1:44:25 PM From: wstera_02 Read Replies (1) of 15980 So all I have is your word that FoxNews reported exactly what you allege. Meanwhile not one other liberal MSM outlet has come forward with an in depth, credible investigation, replete with independently verifiable evidence to substantiate what you allege you heard on FoxNews. Things that make you say Hmmmmm....

Congress Blocks Funds for Renditions Amendment Prohibits Appropriations for 'Torture Express' (Washington, DC) -- Amnesty International today welcomed the passage of the Markey Amendment to the Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act for Defense, the Global War on Terror and Tsunami Relief 2005 (HR 1268). The amendment, introduced by Congressman Edward J. Markey (D-MA), reinforces U.S. legal obligations by ensuring that none of the funds made available in the supplemental appropriations bill will be used to render individuals to countries where they run a substantial risk of being tortured, in accordance with existing U.S. laws and regulations and treaty obligations. "As the White House has refused to ground these despicable flights, which deliver prisoners to detention in countries where torture is often endemic, Congress is rightly taking steps to cut off the funds that fuel the 'torture express'," said Alexandra Arriaga, Director of Government Relations for Amnesty International USA. "The Department of State's country reports on human rights make clear the alleged assurances that these countries will not use torture carry little or no weight. If President Bush won't halt this program of outsourcing torture then Congress must continue to shut off the funding that makes it possible. Congress sent a clear message to President Bush today: no more renditions, no more torture." Background The US is believed to have returned, "rendered" or "disappeared" detainees in the "war on terror" to countries that the report cites for ill-treatment of detainees, including Maher Arar, a Canadian/Syrian national, who was transferred from US custody to Syria via Jordan in October 2002. He was allegedly subjected to severe torture in Syria and held for months in cruel, inhuman and degrading conditions. Yemeni national Jamil Qasim Saeed Mohammed was reportedly handed over to US custody by Pakistan agents on October 26, 2001, and flown out of Karachi International Airport in secret aboard a US Gulfstream jet. He was reportedly taken to Jordan. His current whereabouts are unknown, and Amnesty International has never received a response to its requests to the US authorities for information on the case. Further detainees are believed to be held in "secret prisons" by the US or with its connivance within the borders of other states. amnestyusa.org
