Finally
OK, back to politics for a minute. I know nobody really likes to read these rants, and instead wants links to dancing monkeys, but please indulge me. Actually, it isn't even politics I want to bring up. It's a little something called basic human rights. Something we've typically aimed for in this country - ever heard of a chunk of text claiming "all men are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness?"
A federal judge here ruled today that the Bush administration has been wrongly blocking terrorism suspects held in Cuba from fighting their detention, and that the review procedure set up to determine whether they are "enemy combatants" is inherently unfair and unconstitutional.
Finally. I'm still too angry to say anthing more.
Compassionate conservatism, my ass. And people wonder why I dislike "dubya."
