re: You're not impressing anyone but yourself. Not trying to impress anyone. I'm trying to show what an idiot you are. You don't think America is capable of a decent health care system... unlike all the other industrial countries. Explain that please. re: Bottom line ... you don't have a clue as to what the solution is. Just advocate a government takeover. They'll solve the problems if we just put our trust in them. It's proven, single payer health insurance is superior in cost and quality. It just works. If you don't have a legitimate argument with some facts (you haven't so far) then just shut up. Quit the little personal political ideological crap. Substance or this discussion is over.

U.S. questioned about Arar torture case By PETE YOST, Associated Press Writer Days before the Bush administration put Canadian citizen Maher Arar on a plane for Syria, Canadian law enforcement officials advised their U.S. counterparts that evidence of terrorist links by Arar was not definitive. Why the Bush administration still shipped Arar to Syria — where he was tortured — and whether he remains on the United States' terror watch list are still unknown. Administration officials refuse to talk about the case. news.yahoo.com

Red Cross says concerned at U.S. interrogation law By Richard Waddington Thu Oct 19, 3:35 PM ET The International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) expressed concern on Thursday at a U.S. law allowing tough CIA interrogation techniques and military trials for terrorism suspects. In an interview on the humanitarian agency's Web site, ICRC President Jakob Kellenberger said the law was too vague about who it would apply to and did not explicitly exclude the use of evidence extracted by force in trials. The controversial Military Commissions Act of 2006, signed by President George W. Bush on Tuesday, could also weaken basic guarantees under the Geneva Conventions that should protect everybody from humiliating and degrading treatment, he said. news.yahoo.com

Grim election outlook for Bush's Republicans Thu Oct 19, 4:07 PM ET Pessimism has taken hold among the ranks of President George W. Bush's Republican party as new opinion polls show declining public approval for the majority party and the US leader amid a stream of bad news from Iraq. Less than three weeks before legislative elections on November 7, lawmakers in the Republican majority are facing a level of public disaffection not seen since 1994, when the Democrats lost control of Congress. Only 16 percent of Americans approve of Congress's performance, according to a poll published Thursday in the Wall Street Journal. news.yahoo.com
