Off the subject, but I am fired up tonight.
I can't believe it, the G D lawyers are running the war. They have screwed everything else up. They may as well do us in totally. So just turn the whole thing over to the lawyers.
Three separate articles in today's LA Times.
First, I quote " The New yorker magazine reported that on the first night of bombing raids in Afganistan, a CIA plane had the leader of the Taliban in it's sights but was refused permission to fire. The magazine, in it's Oct. 22 edition, said that an unstaffed Predator reconnaissance aircraft controlled by the CIA and equipped with two antitank missiles identified a convoy of cars and trucks leaving Kabul as carrying Mullah Mohammed Omar. It said the CIA did not have the authority to fire the missiles, and the commander of the U.S. Central Command in Florida did not authorize firing the missles because of concerns express by military LAWYERS"
I think it's odd that this so called commander is the same guy that has authority to shoot down U.S. commercial airliners with no further authority, but has to check with the lawyers before he can shoot down the enemy. I ask you, is this any way to fight a war?
Second article:
"Atty. Gen. John Ashcroft said Sunday that authorities believe about 200 Suspects are still in the U.S. and they are thought to be planning additional attacks.
Third article:
"Some held in terror probe report rights being abused."
"Jeanne Butterfield, executive director of the American Immigration Lawyers Assn., said Washington appears to be "overreacting"."
"Hussein Sadruddin, head of a Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights in Dallas said that detainees are being target because they are Middle Easterners."
No kidding. Would he prefer that we round up Eskimos?
"And in Texas, a man from Saudi Arabia initially was denied an attorney and was deprived of a mattress, a blanket, a drinking cup and a clock."
Wow, you talk about your hard time.
