According to this survey<BR/><BR/>http://www.2decide.com/table.htm<BR/><BR/>Most of the Republican candidates are saying they are pro torture and wiretapping, and detention outside of the law (Guantanamo). Not to mention being pro-assault riffles.<BR/><BR/>The Democrats are almost all in favor of the death penalty and abortion.<BR/><BR/>Can we throw out these two parties and get new ones please?Sharkhttp://sharktacos.com/God/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32298156.post-74500943310950109842007-08-09T13:00:00.000-07:002007-08-09T13:00:00.000-07:00Yeah I listened to that a while back. I believe it was the first time that US media had interviewed former Guantanamo detainees. Fascinating stuff, thanks for the link to it.Sharkhttp://sharktacos.com/God/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32298156.post-43161362896028984742007-08-09T12:04:00.000-07:002007-08-09T12:04:00.000-07:00I saw this Moyers Journal a couple of weeks ago (you can watch the whole thing <A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/moyers/journal/07132007/profile.html" REL="nofollow">here</A>). Really puts the situation into sharp focus. But I share your pessimism about the Dems' willingness to effectively intervene (that pessimism was more or less confirmed last week by their giving legal cover to many of the President’s illegalities).<BR/><BR/>Here’s another program very much worth a listen.<BR/><BR/><A HREF="http://thislife.org/Radio_Episode.aspx?episode=331" REL="nofollow">Habeas Schmabeas</A> (from <I>This American Life</I>)<BR/>Click on “full episode” on the left-hand side<BR/><BR/>-forestwalkerRoberthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07321345347101289725noreply@blogger.com
