Cheney's Big Spy

So do you think Cheney was completely ignorant of the spy in his office, or do you think they had some sort of arrangement?

My money is on the latter.

But it feels so good to know that spys can just infiltrate the white house for three fucking years. Thanks assholes. I feel real safe now.

Dude, I am buzzing

Between the Double Chocolate Stout I'm drinking all on my own and reports that 22 indictments could be handed down by the Grand Jury in the Plame case this week, plus the various and sundry indictments already handed down in the Delay case, plus the Frist investigation...

Let's just say I'm giddy.

Senate Approves Detainee Treatment Rules.

WASHINGTON - The Republican-controlled Senate voted Wednesday to impose restrictions on the treatment of terrorism suspects, delivering a rare wartime rebuke to
President Bush.

Defying the White House, senators voted 90-9 to approve an amendment that would prohibit the use of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment" against anyone in U.S. government custody, regardless of where they are held.

The amendment was added to a $440 billion military spending bill for the budget year that began Oct. 1.

The proposal, sponsored by Sen. John McCain (news, bio, voting record), also requires all service members to follow procedures in the Army Field Manual when they detain and interrogate terrorism suspects.

Bush administration officials say the legislation would limit the president's authority and flexibility in war.

Just think, one day you can tell your children and grandchildren that the acceptability of torture was once debated in America--and George W. Bush and 9 thugs from the Senate vocally came down on the "Torture is Good" side.

Please, if you see your senator listed, email/call/write and let him know he's an ass.
