Well, at least once the detainees get their military tribunal, it's a fair hearing, right? Remember, it's the bush administration we're talking about.

I swear, does the administration even dimly understand that this shit does more harm than good? All the talk about "If you've done nothing wrong, you've got nothing to worry about" is out the window. It will take years to undo the damage these buffoons have caused.

What damage? Among the college faculty, Upper East Side and - gag - UK Guardian reader set?

However, you are correct. We should do like Putin. Kick out the media and shoot them all. Bye, bye story.

Mostly I was thinking of all those Iraqis who were going to greet us with flowers. The ones you describe already knew the bushies were a bunch of buffoons.

You and I have different views of what America means, comrade. Perhaps you would be more comfortable in a dacha outside Moscow, hanging with Pooty-Poot?

Complete this sentence without googling: "When an Iraqi you've never met before suddenly gives you flowers, it's ______ !"

Mmmmmm. Fantasy.

ETA Or, on a less happy note, probably an IED.

Are you fucking kidding me? What world do you live in where's it's OK to do what they're doing to this guy? If his defense is true, he was helping us. ("Mr Haider, the former defence official, said Mr Mujahid had contributed 30 soldiers to a major operation against al-Qaida in March 2002. 'He is completely innocent,' he said.") Leave alone the "damage" that when you screw people over, other people find out and think less of you. How about the possibility that we were screwing him over for the wrong reasons?

Yes, apparently, this "damage" you speak of has affected the suits at Warner Bros. - because Superman now stands for "TRUTH. JUSTICE. AND ALL THAT IS GOOD."

Apparently, the "AMERICAN WAY" is now bad, bad, bad.

Maybe they want people in other countries to pay to watch it.

You're right.

We now live in a country where half the politicians care more about illegal immigrants receiving benefits than about the tax payers supporting them.

We live in a country where our soldiers are declared imperialist murderers and sympathy for our enemies is encouraged.

We live in a country where an unelected judiciary steps all over the separation of powers doctrine and expands the scope of Treaties

We live in a country where "freedom of the press" now means "expose national security".

It really just isn't all that American anymore.

Cite please?

And stop whining. People who generally agree with you control almost ever lever of power in this country. It's annoying when you mope about those people occasionally being less extreme than you would like.

What about all the Republicans who care most about the businesses employing them?

(And let's get real -- immigrants pay taxes.)

What a crock of shit this is. Please.

Not a single Justice agreed with your interpretation of the Third Geneva Convention. Not Thomas, not Scalia, not Alito. It doesn't mean you're wrong -- just lonely over there on the right fringe.

We live in a country where "freedom of the press" now means "expose national security".

So you think Karl Rove should go to jail?

Bitch, please. Your soccer team won today. Your party's been running everything in the Federal Government for running on 6 years now. Lower (and unclench) your fist, go from the front yard back into your house, and have another beer.

Jesus Christ. I avoid the FB to miss the spoilers, so you post them here, too?
