A video creation by Jesus' General, well worth watching and passing on. Senator Patrick Leahy rakes Alberto Gonzales over the coals about the case of Maher Arar, an innocent Canadian citizen who was sent by the United States to Syria where he was tortured for ten months.

1. "Next week" is over today, isn't it?

I wonder if that little worm (apologies to worms everywhere) has produced any documentation or if we get another hearing soon.

4. My guess is Gonzales was told this case would be discussed

and still showed up unprepared to address it. Leahy is not one to easily lose his temper... it was long overdue.

5. We need more of that!

What is that strange feeling I haven't felt for so long? It is familiar, it is pleasant, but it has been so long from me. Could it be? Could it be some small sense of honor and joy at being an American is returning to my body? It is faint and weak, but I think Senator Leahy has given me something here that I haven't felt since, oh, right about Iran-Contra.

Please, Senator Leahy and all congress critters: I need more! Smoke the little neocon devils out of their caves! Yeehaw!

(This poster would like to express his immediate apology to all things 'little' and to all devils who may be impugned by his use of language. Certainly small things and devils are nowhere near as bad as the neocons, but the urge to insult is too great to resist.)

9. Very good job on the video.... And Gonzales sits there smirking like a teenager.

Something is just so wrong with everyone Bush surrounds himself with. A damn band of psychopaths.
