Bush Uses NSA To Illegally Spy On Quaker Peace Group rawstory.com This is exactly what we're talking about when we say it's time to impeach. Bush has gone crazy with abusive power, without realizing that the majority of Americans don't like him, trust him or agree with any of his policies.

Laura Bush wasn't drunk or high? How do you know? She married an alcoholic who is rumored to have been arrested for cocaine in 1971. Plus, before you demonize Teddy for drinking (which is legal), look at this. "Both George and Laura used to go down to the island of Tortola in the British Virgin Islands to visit Laura's college roommate Jane Clark and her boyfriend, the former baseball great Sandy Koufax. Elsewhere on the island, the Bushes used to attend and enjoy heavy pot-smoking parties. This was not inconsistent with Laura's past. She graduated from Southern Methodist University in 1968 and had been known in her college days as a go-to-girl for dime bags of marijuana. "She not only smoked dope,: said public relations executive Robert Nash, an Austin friend of many in Laura's SMU class, "but she sold dope."

Killers boasted of rape: police www.smh.com.au By Sebastien Berger in Lamai, Thailand January 11, 2006 Telegraph, London Katherine Horton and, inset from top, Bualoi Posit and Wichai SomKhaoyai. THE killers of the British backpacker Katherine Horton allegedly boasted about their actions within minutes of her being beaten and raped. "Delicious, very delicious," shouted Bualoi Posit, 23, and Wichai Somkhaoyai, 24, as they climbed back aboard their fishing boat, until told to be quiet by the vessel's mate. The men then bragged to other crewmen that "they had just raped a foreigner", said Lieutenant-General Ajiravid Subarnbhesaj, the national police spokesman. The men, who were taken to Bangkok for forensic tests, matched DNA samples recovered from Ms Horton's body, police said. The Thai Prime Minister, Thaksin Shinawatra, has called for the execution of the pair if they are convicted of Ms Horton's rape and murder. "They must be sentenced to the harshest possible punishment," he said. On Sunday night, after being taken back to the holiday island of Samui, the two men were manhandled by police past onlookers into the investigation centre in handcuffs, their heads bowed. Police said that after six hours of interrogation, both confessed on Monday to killing Ms Horton, 21, of Cardiff, on New Year's Day and Bualoi admitted raping her. Police sources gave extended details of their confessions and other witnesses' testimony. The crew of the trawler, in Lamai Bay, were allegedly drinking heavily and watching pornographic DVDs when one of the pair announced: "I want to rape someone". They swam to shore using empty fuel canisters as floats. "When they saw Katherine they talked to each other and said 'This woman is beautiful'," said Major-General Aswin Kwanmuang, the deputy head of Thailand's central investigation bureau. Bualoi, from Ubon Ratchathani, in north-east Thailand, grabbed the psychology student and Wichai beat her on the head with a beach umbrella pole. They did not know that her telephone had fallen into the sand. "They dragged her by the neck about 30 metres down the beach," Major-General Aswin said. Ms Horton may have been semi-conscious or unconscious at the time of the sexual assault. Police said the last witnesses to see her alive, Chris and Jill Burrows, found Ms Horton's telephone in the sand, a vital clue in pointing police towards the boat the attackers came from. The crew will be charged with conspiracy if it is found that Ms Horton was taken to the boat.
