We want a fair trial in the US or an Internation court! We want lawyers speak our languages...\nBush: Nahnahnah, you all terrorists... we're gonna give you a death sentence.\n\nThat's democratic... and our soliders "did teach" them how to be democratic...

He said, "It was a thumping or what we used to a call a A$$ whooping". \n\nThen a reporter took the thumping thing out of context a little and he asked what paper he was with and he said, "The New York Times".  I heard him mutter something there and laugh.

EXACTLY!!!\n\nThere is a story circulating right now about the Bush administration, ONCE AGAIN, violating privacy laws by getting access to all banking/financial transactions; although, they claim to have only looked at international transactions. They have the authority to do this BUT not until they go before a judge and get approval. Of course with Bush not believing in the consitution, he did not do that = broke the law AGAIN!!\n\nNow, to counter this Bush has been bombarding talk radio and Fox News (even saw an upset guy on pbs The Newshour yesterday about it) with propaganda that does not explain the entire story as I did in the first paragraph. \n\nTheir defense is we are in a 'war on terror'. So, basically because we are in a war on terror, they believe they can ignore all the laws and ppl's right to privacy, etc...\n\nSo, as you stated... with them attacking the press for reporting this story.. there goes freedom of speech and the press.\n\nBtw, the laws about a reporter revealing his/her source are very vague. A reporter does have the right to tell his/her source but most don't because that hinders ppl from wanting to tell them things later. I personally think that if someone tells a reporter something and the act of telling is in itself breaking the law then the reporter SHOULD be required to tell his/her source. IE, this Carl Rove thing about the CIA agent leak. We all know he was behind that but the reporter won't tell.

because the president didnt listen to the people that are telling him that this is a losing battle yesterday on the abc, cbs, and nbc news, a story appeared about how bush was told, by his own hand picked generals, that the war is going badly, and he immeditaly went in to a prees conference and said the exact oppisit. bush is a perenial liar he should be shot. republicans have no one else to blame for this fiasco but themselves

Does the current adminsitration (small 'a') pose any threat to the fourth estate? To a free press? I find it disingenuous to the point of imbecility that Bush & Co are "outraged" that the press is "out to get them". What did they think was going to happen?

It means that when the President speaks on any subject, people listen. I have no respect for George W. Bush, but a decent President could affect American society by speaking out intelligently on many issues over which he or she has no direct authority.

Sources:  Chris Matthews, Joe Scarborough, Keith Obermann, Jerry Springer.  This came out today and I also heard that the UN was p'ssed off at USA also for having this crap on the "internets" At the insistence of bush and Hoekstra and some other congressman on the hill  Negroponte was forced to set up the procedure to get this stuff put out there for all of us and any interested terrorist to see and study up on.  Thank God bush isn't all that good using "the Google" or what else would he compromise in our "best interests".  The New York Times should be commended for getting this issue out into the open.

In his latest audiotape which was released on January 19th, Osama ben Laden had declared: "If you [Americans] are sincere in your desire for peace and security, we have answered you. And if Bush decides to carry on with his lies and oppression, then it would be useful for you to read the book _Rogue State', which states in its introduction ... " He then goes on to quote the opening of a paragraph (which appears actually in the Foreword of the British edition only, that was later translated to Arabic), which in full reads:\n "If I were the president, I could stop terrorist attacks against the United States in a few days. Permanently. I would first apologize -- very publicly and very sincerely -- to all the widows and the orphans, the impoverished and the tortured, and all the many millions of other victims of American imperialism. I would then announce that America’s global interventions -- including the awful bombings -- have come to an end. And I would inform Israel that it is no longer the 51st state of the union but -– oddly enough -– a foreign country. I would then reduce the military budget by at least 90% and use the savings to pay reparations to the victims and repair the damage from the many American bombings and invasions. There would be more than enough money. Do you know what one year of the US military budget is equal to? One year. It’s equal to more than $20,000 per hour for every hour since Jesus Christ was born.\n"That’s what I’d do on my first three days in the White House. On the fourth day, I’d be assassinated."\nThe stunning victory of the Islamic Resistance Movement Party Hamas in the Palestinian elections underlines the central contradictions in the Bush administration's policies toward the the Islamic World. Hamas' stunning victory underlines the contradictions, hypocrisies and double-standard in Bush's Mideast policies.\nDemocracy depends not just on elections but on a rule of law, on stable institutions, on basic economic security for the population, and on checks and balances that forestall a tyranny of the majority. Elections in the absence of this key societal context can produce authoritarian regimes and abuses as easily as they can produce genuine people power. Bush is on the whole unwilling to invest sufficiently in these key institutions and practices abroad. And by either creating or failing to deal with hated foreign occupations, he has opened our minds to the fact that only militant Islamist movements that gain popularity because of their honest credentials is only the way forward.

What an astonishing turn of events.  Sure illustrates that this administration has little regard for national security -- only grabbing and holding onto power.  As Bush did not listen to military about troop levels, he didn't listed to his own security czar Negreponte, who didn't want this posted.  Can you believe Andrew Card actually proposed that the real damage was done by the NY Times in reporting the story.\n\nThe brouhaha over John Kerry's unfortunate joke delivery about Bush getting (US) stuck in Iraq got ten thousand percent more coverage than this serious security breach and W is holding the smoking gun.  Go figure.

Is this a trick question? George W Bush that's who!

The people the listen to her have let her go to far.\nThis is because the are special people.\nThis might help explain:\n\n\nYOU ARE A SPECIAL PEOPLE CONS\n\nYou supported bush, but in time, you will come to\nrealize how he targeted you for deception.\n\nYou were specially picked because of the attributes\nyou possess: fear, ignorance, arrogance, belligerence,\nbigotry, and low self-esteem. Bush's political\nstrategists calculated that the people most easily\nmisled and controlled are the ones who fit your\nprofile, so they crafted their propaganda just for\nyou.\n\nHe got your support by making you feel better about\nyour personal flaws. He told you to wave the flag\nbecause your bigotry is nothing be ashamed of, and to\nthump the bible because your ignorance is a virtue.\nYou should cherish your hatefulness and\nsmall-mindedness as they are family values. You are\nnot society's rejects, but rather, you are higher on\nthe ladder than certain other people. Right-wing radio\npoints them out so that you know who to hate to feel\nbetter about yourself.\n\nHe feeds you crap about "imminent threat",\n"patriotism", "spreading freedom", and "flowers and\ncandy". He's only tossing you a bone because he knows\nhe's going to be asking you for a hefty sacrifice\nsoon. He repeats meaningless, mind-numbing platitudes\nlike "Freedom is not free!" and "We're fighting them\nthere so we don't have to fight them here!" You fell\nfor it.\n\nBy now, it should be apparent that the invasion of\nIraq was a shameless oil grab. We're there because the\nrich, powerful, and greedy of this country, people who\nyou have nothing to do with, want to control that part\nof the world's oil resources for decades to come, and\nthey're using your tax dollars and your children's\nblood to do it. Over a hundred thousand people,\nAmerican and Iraqi, are dead because of it, and the\ndepleted uranium left behind will ensure that tens of\nthousands more die afterwards. You call that\nliberation? Not even that many people died when Saddam\nHussein tried to grab Kuwait's oil fields years ago.\n\nYes, you are a special people, cons. You do not\npossess patriotism, a love of America, or any of those\nhigh-minded ideals as you would like to believe. You\npossess the qualities that allowed bush to hijack your\nfree will to do his bidding. You were used, and he did\nit by playing to the personal shortcomings that most\npeople try to hide. Like Samuel L. Jackson's character\nat the end of the movie Unbreakable, you become aware,\nonly after the fact, of the disgraceful role that you\nwere destined to play. You will come to realize that\nyou are history's bad guy. Like the McCarthyites or\nthe brownshirts, you will serve both as a symbol of\nshame and a warning to future generations. You truly\nare a special people.GOD HELP US ALL,AND AMERICA.
