means

someone has to primary obama, get him (and holder) out of there (and no, that does not mean putting in a racist, homophobic, xenophobic, sexist, authoritarian republican motherfucker in his place)

remember, they hate us for our freedoms

http://www.nytimes.com/2010/05/30/world/asia/30drone.html?hp

evidently the freedom to invade, occupy, and fire missiles at the wrong targets from "inaccurate and unprofessional" drone operators, but don't worry, they "intend[] to reduce the chances of similar events"

not end or stop, just reduce

this isn't helping either

end the war [updated]

that, of course, was then

this, of course, is now, see the difference ??

[bonus if you remember the 'everything in the budget, no more supplimentals' thingy]

update

[double plus good bonus if you remember that 'rejection of the Bush Administration's attempt to create a legal black hole' thingy, too, also, in addition to]

the first thing obama can do on monday [updated]

is fire his attorney general

and of course, does something else instead

a word is worth a thousand pictures

and yes, i blame obama for not telling bp to go fuck themselves and taking over on day three, we're now at day 35...

only pursuant to a warrant

http://www.salon.com/news/opinion/glenn_greenwald/2010/04/15/doj/index.html

wake up

http://www.chris-floyd.com/component/content/article/1-latest-news/1953-the-accomodationists-memo-to-liberals-on-the-white-house-death-warrants.html

and no, the republicans aren't any better, they're much worse, vote out any incumbant

(congress as a whole, regardless of what party is in charge, have a less than 20% apporval rating, yet 85%-95% of all that run for reeelction, win)

(oh, and the itmfa tag now applies to obama, also, too)

The following seven paragraphs have been redacted

[It was reported that a new series of interviews was conducted by the United States authorities prior to 17 May 2001 as part of a new strategy designed by an expert interviewer.

v) It was reported that at some stage during that further interview process by the United States authorities, BM had been intentionally subjected to continuous sleep deprivation. The effects of the sleep deprivation were carefully observed.

vi) It was reported that combined with the sleep deprivation, threats and inducements were made to him. His fears of being removed from United States custody and “disappearing” were played upon.

vii) It was reported that the stress brought about by these deliberate tactics was increased by him being shackled in his interviews

viii) It was clear not only from the reports of the content of the interviews but also from the report that he was being kept under self-harm observation, that the inter views were having a marked effect upon him and causing him significant mental stress and suffering.

ix) We regret to have to conclude that the reports provide to the SyS made clear to anyone reading them that BM was being subjected to the treatment that we have described and the effect upon him of that intentional treatment.

x) The treatment reported, if had been administered on behalf of the United Kingdom, would clearly have been in breach of the undertakings given by the United Kingdom in 1972. Although it is not necessary for us to categorise the treatment reported, it could readily be contended to be at the very least cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment by the United States authorities]"

what fourth amendment [updated]

http://harpers.org/archive/2009/11/hbc-90006019

by the same logic, if you mail a letter, and, in the course of it's travels, moves from usps vehicles to a private third party for transport, this "'private' information is actually being held by third-party private companies", and could therefore be subject to inspection without court order

[too, also]

there's been persistant talk of privatizing the post office*, should the transport of mail from box to box be in private hands, does the abilty to search widen as well ??

* something that should never happen
