Washington Times and WSJ Continue The Murtha Smear Campaign

The legislation I'm putting together...They must have the equipment and the training and they must be certified by the Chiefs of the various services before they can go back.

...so they need to train on that equipment and then take it with them...They're going to have to certify to us that they are ready and they're going to have to stop the extensions.

                             ...JOHN MURTHA

                      

                                     

 

   I post this in response to the totally ' smear job ' that both the Washington Times and the Wall Street Journal published in their papers today on john Murtha.

          Wall Street Journal:

Rep. John Murtha, who's spent more than two decades amassing political clout by doling out defense earmarks, might prefer to "slow bleed" the administration by putting conditions on money appropriated to fight the war.

Washington Times:

Now the action shifts to Rep. John Murtha and his attempt to attach to the supplemental appropriations bill for Iraq and Afghanistan conditions that would make it more difficult for Mr. Bush to pursue his new strategy.

   If you wannabe newspapers are going to report the news, then report the news with the entire story and not just the parts that the Bush Crime Family would like to hear!

   You are starting to look like those pathetic fools over at Fox News with their  " Fair and Balanced " bull. " Fairly Unbalanced " would be more like it!

Appeals Court Rule Detainees Can't Use U.S. Courts

    Guantanamo Bay detainees can't challenge their imprisonment in the U.S. courts, so says a federal appeals court. That will keep one of Bush's provisions intact with his anti-terrorism plan.

Barring detainees from the U.S. court system was a key provision in the Military Commissions Act, which Bush pushed through Congress last year to set up a system to prosecute terrorism suspects.

Civil libertarians and leading Democrats decried the law as unconstitutional and a violation of American values. The law allows the government to indefinitely detain foreigners who have been designed as "enemy combatants" and authorizes the CIA to use aggressive but undefined interrogation tactics.

But the most criticized provision of the law was the one stripping U.S. courts of the authority to hear arguments from detainees who said they were being held illegally.

   Maybe we need to throw these bum judges out into the street along with the Bush Crime Family. I'm sure that there is a Salvation Army that would let them sleep there at night, if they can sleep with a dirty conscience.

                              IMPEACH! INDICT! IMPRISON!
