how does someone with that personality, and those looks, get elected? Penske. Earlier today you claimed to be from Vermont. Explanation please.

I meant figuratively-by-association, like the Iraqi-al Qaeda connection.

This is the unintended consequence of censorship.

Your punch line is off. A "vest" in british english does mean "undershirt" in american english, but a "wife beater" has no pits to stain. My guess is a pit hair revealing wife beater. |

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. Supreme Court (news - web sites) ruled on Monday that an American captured overseas in President Bush (news - web sites)'s war on terrorism cannot be held indefinitely in a U.S. military jail without a chance to contest the detention.

I assume you're refering to the language I bolded. Hey, credit where credit is due. But if you delete that language, the rest seems pretty neutral. The "in President Bush's war on terrorism" part strikes me as poorly written in that is can be subject to several different interpretations, and it's not clear which is intended. Is the author trying to distance America (and hence himself) from Bush's actions? That's my read, and probably yours, but I'm not positive that was what was intended. Or is the author underscoring that one branch of the government is disagreeing with another? The author may have convinced himself this was the case.
Anyway, very interesting quote. |

FWIW, the WSJ headline says:
SUPREME COURT RULED the Bush administration may hold American citizens and foreign nationals without charges in its antiterrorism fight, but said the detainees can challenge their treatment in U.S. courts.
Fuck detention. We should just start beheading these guys on the battlefield.

Let me guess: at your LS, you learned how the 5th Amendment gives criminals the right not to testify against themselves? |

Huh? Fifth amendment? In Gaza? In Pakistan? Afghanistan?
Besides 5th amendment was 1L. I was in LS for 7 years after that. I have SJD.
