The Above Linkblogs Might Contain "Borrowed" links.
Linkblogs do not substantially contribute traffic to my blog that I can discover. They all go offsite, and are often accessed from my blog. It's possible to access them from the RSS according to my settings. Still, even if I were to get ads clicking on a linkblog from the RSS won't drive more people to my blog than otherwise because they leave my resources. (Note to self, do more posts, less LBs with sources I find). I explain because I sometimes borrow links from people at Twitter, and often forget who put them up. (To fellow Twitterers: If you have a link to your blog, I will point it there, but Twitter, being impermanent, cannot hold your link for people to discover from there. I only 'borrow' them to get news out to as many people as I can who might not have seen the reports and videos found by the smart people I follow at Twitter or find in search rooms.RSS Add-Me
Republican Congressional Admits They Could Have Stopped Abu Ghraib
posted 07-11-06
Excerpt: Washington Post article:
And after the November elections, Republican Congressionals will be resume their position of allowing Bush to have his way. Remember how so many of they promised to vote against CAFTA? Over 95 percent of Republicans voted for CAFTA while over 98% of Democrats voted against the program.
"We are not a parliament, and when we function like a parliament we're unfaithful to the process and our system of government," said Rep. Christopher Shays (R-Conn.), who will preside over the Iraq hearing. "We hurt our country and both branches of government. If we had been more forceful . . . Abu Ghraib would have never happened."I have a clue for you guys. Neither would 911 (according to a portion of the 911 Commission Report that mainstream news refused to report on), Iraq, CAFTA, The Medicare Destruction Act of 2003, billions in pork giveaways to campaign contributors, the post Katrina failure to rescue, and the Bankruptcy Act have happened Do you want me to continue?
In other words, apparently, the Bush people need to be taught how not to be fascists. I hope they're quick learners. I suspect though, that we'll see them on the dunce stool again soon enough.In the international arena, the administration and the CIA are reexamining procedures for capturing, transporting and detaining terrorism suspects.
Pierre-Richard Prosper, formerly the State Department official charged with negotiating the return of Guantanamo Bay prisoners to their country of origin, said most countries agree with the goals of counterterrorism.
"But once you started actual implementation, you see the fractures taking place," he said. "I think what has to happen is the world will really need to take a look at these issues. This is a new game; what are the new rules going to be?"
And after the November elections, Republican Congressionals will be resume their position of allowing Bush to have his way. Remember how so many of they promised to vote against CAFTA? Over 95 percent of Republicans voted for CAFTA while over 98% of Democrats voted against the program.
