1) Seizing power to wage wars of aggression in defiance of the U.S. Constitution, the U.N.

2) Lying to the people of the U.S., to Congress, and to the U.N., providing false and deceptive rationales for war.

5) Threatening the independence and sovereignty of Iraq by belligerently changing its government by force and assaulting Iraq in a war of aggression.

6) Authorizing, ordering and condoning assassinations, summary executions, kidnaping, secret and other illegal detentions of individuals, torture and physical and psychological coercion of prisoners to obtain false statements concerning acts and intentions on governments and individuals and violating within the United States, and by authorizing U.S. forces and agents elsewhere, the rights of individuals under the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth and Eighth Amendments to the Constitution of the United States, the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

7) Making, ordering and condoning false statements and propaganda about the conduct of foreign governments and individuals and acts by U.S. government personnel; manipulating the media and foreign governments with false information; concealing information vital to public discussion and informed judgment concerning acts, intentions and possession, or efforts to obtain weapons of mass destruction in order to falsely create a climate of fear and destroy opposition to U.S. wars of aggression and first strike attacks.

8) Violations and subversions of the Charter of the United Nations and international law, both a part of the "Supreme Law of the land" under Article VI, paragraph 2, of the Constitution, in an attempt to commit with impunity crimes against peace and humanity and war crimes in wars and threats of aggression against Afghanistan, Iraq and others and usurping powers of the United Nations and the peoples of its nations by bribery, coercion and other corrupt acts and by rejecting treaties, committing treaty violations, and frustrating compliance with treaties in order to destroy any means by which international law and institutions can prevent, affect, or adjudicate the exercise of U.S. military and economic power against the international community.

9) Acting to strip United States citizens of their constitutional and human rights, ordering indefinite detention of citizens, without access to counsel, without charge, and without opportunity to appear before a civil judicial officer to challenge the detention, based solely on the discretionary designation by the Executive of a citizen as an "enemy combatant."

10) Ordering indefinite detention of non-citizens in the United States and elsewhere, and without charge, at the discretionary designation of the Attorney General or the Secretary of Defense.

11) Ordering and authorizing the Attorney General to override judicial orders of release of detainees under INS jurisdiction, even where the judicial officer after full hearing determines a detainee is wrongfully held by the government.

12) Authorizing secret military tribunals and summary execution of persons who are not citizens who are designated solely at the discretion of the Executive who acts as indicting official, prosecutor and as the only avenue of appellate relief.

13) Refusing to provide public disclosure of the identities and locations of persons who have been arrested, detained and imprisoned by the U.S. government in the United States, including in response to Congressional inquiry.

14) Use of secret arrests of persons within the United States and elsewhere and denial of the right to public trials.

15) Authorizing the monitoring of confidential attorney-client privileged communications by the government, even in the absence of a court order and even where an incarcerated person has not been charged with a crime.

16) Ordering and authorizing the seizure of assets of persons in the United States, prior to hearing or trial, for lawful or innocent association with any entity that at the discretionary designation of the Executive has been deemed "terrorist."

17) Engaging in criminal neglect in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, depriving thousands of people in Louisiana, Mississippi and other Gulf States of urgently needed support, causing mass suffering and unnecessary loss of life.

18) Institutionalization of racial and religious profiling and authorization of domestic spying by federal law enforcement on persons based on their engagement in noncriminal religious and political activity.

19) Refusal to provide information and records necessary and appropriate for the constitutional right of legislative oversight of executive functions.

20) Rejecting treaties protective of peace and human rights and abrogation of the obligations of the United States under, and withdrawal from, international treaties and obligations without consent of the legislative branch, and including termination of the ABM treaty between the United States and Russia, and rescission of the authorizing signature from the Treaty of Rome which served as the basis for the International Criminal Court

is a bigger mess than Iraq? Obesity is the major cause of almost every major disease that kill Americans including heart attacks, strokes, diabetes, & many cancers and the US healthcare system cannot handle so many fat/diseased Americans. How about this, anyone 15 or more lbs over their normal weight doesn't get any public/govt. healthcare? Gym Stocks would skyrocket & US healthcare would no longer be a major problem.

Besides the fact that they're more comfortable and you don't have to iron them, I personally don't care for them. They're not as durable as teh BDU/DCU. You can't sew them up easily. The zipper breaks and you're screwed. They're so light colored that they stick out in a wilderness environment. Velcro? How the hell is that tactical? My first day in the field with these I tore the arm because I caught the pen-sleeves when I took my ruck sack off. That and the crotches rip out very easily. I realize that it's a happy medium between urban and rural terrain patterns, But the marines look better than our blueish-grey suits. Any other opinions?

Is it me or does it seem that people have gotten very ignorant to the needs of others? Get this "a Toronto church's plan to shelter a dozen homeless people once a week during the cold winter months has been met by threats of an injunction from some area residents" (cbc.ca). Therefore, because the residences have nice warm beds to sleep in then who cares about those who do not. Does anyone else find it disconcerting that we view the homeless as lower then ourselves? Now here is my question well the last of a few Can some one please explain to me as to why these people feel the need to let people freeze outside when the church has more then graciously accepted them inside THEIR church which is NOT owned by the residence?

Why are the people who shout about civil liberties in America so dead against our helping people of other countries have the right to freedom? Isn't that a bit arrogant to say equal rights to all but only if you are in America? Do we really need to find a nuclear bomb to justify getting Sadaam out of Iraq and helping the good people there to vote in their own leader for the first time in who knows how long?
