House approves bill on terror detainees - Yahoo! News

House approves bill on terror detainees - Yahoo! News:

"WASHINGTON - The House approved legislation Wednesday giving the Bush administration authority to interrogate and prosecute terrorism detainees, moving President Bush to the edge of a pre-election victory with a key piece of his anti-terror plan.

The mostly party-line 253-168 vote in the Republican-run House prompted bitter charges afterward by House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., that opposition Democrats were coddling terrorists, perhaps foreshadowing campaign attack ads to come. Democrats responded that the GOP leader was trying to provoke fear.

Even as the House debated the bill, senators of the two parties agreed to limit debate on their own nearly identical measure, all but ensuring its passage on Thursday.

Republican leaders are hoping to work out differences and send Bush a final version before leaving Washington this weekend to campaign for the Nov. 7 congressional elections.WASHINGTON - The House approved legislation Wednesday giving the Bush administration authority to interrogate and prosecute terrorism detainees, moving President Bush to the edge of a pre-election victory with a key piece of his anti-terror plan.

That is all they have, now; fear. Watch how fast they jump on that fear button at the slightest provocation. Only people who are cowards, and chicken littles in the first degree, would see the Republicans as the answer to terrorism.

Listen, little authoritarian sheeple; you have been lied to, in a very major way. You have been deceived, just as your own scripture predicted you would be, according to your own interpretation of that scripture.

The Great Deceiver has come, but he is not bin Laden. Whatever Osama may be, he deceives no one. He doesn't seem to try.

He is a self-righteous individual, if I ever saw one. He believes what he says, no matter how nutty it might seem to us. He is so trustworthy a witness to the world situation that his words are now quoted by the war preznit, himself.

The French say that Osama is dead. The French resistance says that. Ah, yes, the leakers.

Don't much care whether he is or isn't. But, it sure seems like someone does.

WHY?
