Politics & Government - 17 September 2006

Lately I have been hearing about oh" the EVIL Bush Administration allows TORTURE" but what kind of torture or what degree? The only torture I have been hearing is water boarding, loud rock and rap music, freezing, cold rooms, and sleep deprivation(U.S special forces trainees and frat members go through worse).

If this is the kind of torture we are using on Islamic terrrorist to save countless lives(these are the same techniques used that helped capture high-level Al-Qiada members, including the mastermind of 9/11) then I'm all for it. Hell, I don't mind slapping around some radical terrorist like what the police do to suspects during interrogations but, I haven't heard anything about fingers getting cut off or eyes being pull out of the socket, nothing in that degree(which I'm against).

Why is this an issue now? Why this administraion, I mean the CIA has been using torture sense the Cold War.
Are these people(Islamic killers) even under the Geneva Convention?

I don't think the middle or upperclass Americans understand the situation because it's the americans that work on the poverty level that are getting screwed by this first......I'm thinking if anger builds it could cause major problems among the poor here in America.

Spain toughens migration policy, vowing to expel all illegals
Madrid- The constant influx of Africans to the Canary Islands has prompted Spain's Socialist government to toughen its immigration policy, news reports said Tuesday. The government now excludes massive amnesties to illegals and vows to expel all of them, according to the daily El Pais. The conservative opposition accuses Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero's government of encouraging illegal immigration by allowing large numbers of migrants to legalize their situation after staying in Spain for a while. About 1.2 million immigrants have obtained residence permits in eight massive amnesties over the past two decades. Around 700,000 of the migrants were legalized by Socialist governments. Socialist leaders have rejected the conservatives' request of a law against new amnesties, but have also said that the government would not stage any more mass legalization procedures.

The Bush administration has concluded that Osama bin Laden was present during the battle for Tora Bora late last year & that failure to commit U.S. ground troops to hunt him was its gravest error in the war against al Qaeda, according to civilian & military officials with first-hand knowledge.

Intelligence officials have assembled what they believe to be decisive evidence, from contemporary & subsequent interrogations & intercepted communications, that bin Laden began the battle of Tora Bora inside the cave complex along Afghanistan's mountainous eastern border.

After-action reviews, conducted privately inside & outside the military chain of command, describe the episode as a significant defeat for the United States.

There is no evidence that fires brought the building down, but there is much evidence that it was brought down with explosives.

No charges for man who shot immigrant while hunting in Texas
LAREDO, Texas -- A hunter who fatally shot an undocumented immigrant on a South Texas ranch when he mistook the man for a hog should not be indicted, a Maverick County grand jury has decided. The grand jury's no bill means Jaime Gonzalez will not be charged with manslaughter or criminally negligent homicide for the 2004 shooting near El Indio. Gonzalez, of Eagle Pass, had told authorities he was shooting at a wild hog about 150 feet away when Celestino Lopez was struck in the abdomen.

I heard that there are certain conservatives on this sight that have a whole bunch of different yahoo answers accounts and they ask questions on here and than answer them themselves in order to make it look like they know what they're talking about and to try to sway people to switch to their party. Do you think this is true? If it is it has to be the most pathetic thing I've ever heard of anyone doing in my life.

I want to leave my resident county (Australia) and go to live with my brother and his wife in the USA. Has anyone had any experience with applying for a Petition for Alien Relative and what do you think my chances are? I am 59 years of age and would eventually like to try and get some work. All my siblings are US citizens either by birth or by gaining citizenship and all live in the US. My father was born in the US.
