Ummm, we drop bombs on terrorist hideouts and "accidently" kill and maim innocent women, children and babies in the process, and then we label it - collateral damage. And you're upset about a terrorist with a face full of water? God and the Bible have very little to do with modern warfare my friend. Very little. God forgives many things, but never the killing of a child by either side.

Bush is barbaric, talk about your terrorist geesh what is he? He is a war-monger, cow-tipping terrorist himself. He has no sence or knowledge of anything other that money and then he has a problem with knowing when to stop spending. No Christian man would ok this to be done. Bush is a lying, self-centered phony. God created all in his image. We all bleed red, It is insaine for Bush to stoop to there level and represent the American people with the craziness he comes up with. The statement even says "terror suspect". goes to show you "guilty untill proven innocent"
American Government makes me sick!!!

YOU AMERIKAN LIBERAL POLITICIANS - YOU EQUATE SIMULATED DROWNINGS TO HEADS BEING SLICED OFF WITH A SURRATED KNIFE ?????
THE LATTER IS TORTURE, THE FORMER IS A 'SIMMULATION' you retarded, dumb pussy liberals.
You also are under the strict believe that incarcerating a mass murderer is a form of torture, cruel and unusual punishment.
NEVER ONCE HAVE YOUR LIBERAL POLITICIANS COMPLAINED WHEN THE ISLAMICS SLICED OFF THE HEADS OF AMERIKAN SOLDIERS. They totally justify this because they loath your military and the more of your soldiers die by whatever means, the better.
Conservatives need to create an artial bomb which surgically strikes and kills only liberals.
Hey Fuher, I think you need to lay off the drugs and get into rehab and stop with this nazi and commie BS shouting match... you know what I bet you aren't even german, just a numb balled con living in germany.

Torture any info from torture is bogus info.The use of torture is to send a message to the general population. If you lived in a country that used torture and you saw the victims of torture you would tow the party line. A torture victim is a living reminder not to mess with the powers of ones country. Maybe BUSH is testing the waters.

CANADA RULES U.S. UNSAFE......

Federal court strikes down refugee agreement
Updated Fri. Nov. 30 2007 10:20 AM ET

CTV.ca News Staff

The United States is not a safe country for refugees, the Federal Court said Thursday as it ruled that Canada will no longer have the right to turn back asylum seekers at the border.

In the surprise judgment, the court found that Safe Third Country Agreement breaches the rights of asylum seekers under the United Nation Refugee Convention or the Convention Against Torture.

How would our political leaders know if water-boarding is torture or not? Let's have the ones voteing in favor of the procedure be water boarded themselves ---- then they'd know if it was torture or not. They could then change their vote if they felt it was.

If it were known how deeply entrenched the cancer of self interest is in Congress and just how corrupt it really is... we might either all commit suicide for the shame of it all, or pull out our blunderbuss and start shooting the moon. No one knows how many SPIES wear a Congressional pin... and you better believe it that there ARE agents of foreign governments ... HOSTILE AGENTS... sitting in seats the voters gave them and these people are the ones we need MOST TO SPIE ON. No one will have time to reflect on how socially appropriate it is to civil liberties when a mushroom grows over the heads of every hometown cityhall lawn in America one Thursday afternoon. No one will remain to moarn the demise of the greatest nation in history but our enemies.

Wake up, America... Its LATER THAN YOU THINK...

Don't make things harder than they are. The simple request of changing your paper "what you call money" into gold would rid the secret elite :)
