3. That's why they don't want to put the rest on trial.

Very, very few of the 3,000 people we've kidnapped, detained without charges and tortured would be convicted.

If they didn't hate us before, they sure do now.

What have we done?

5. GOOD, another defeat for the "Patriot Act"

Edited on Tue Dec-06-05 06:15 PM by kliljedahl

Asscraft touted this as proof of its efficacy, buh bye patriot act. They defended this as a First Amendment issue, called no witnesses & did not testify & yet won the case.

8. On the news they said it was brought out during the trial

That he lied on his immigration papers, and that he voted illegally in an election before he was a citizen.

WTF?! What does he think he is a mexican or something?

And in 2000 he was running around campaigning for shrub. I guess 537 votes just shrunk to 536.

9. Wow! That's an interesting point!

Nicely illustrates how Grover Norquist and Jack Abramoff's strategy of money laundering and influence peddling on behalf of radical Islamicists tipped the 2000 election to the GOP.
