..regarding the investigation into the Pat Tillman friendly fire cover up?

Seriously. What could be so earth shakingly secret that releasing it to the Congress would harm the "war" on terror or US interests? Doesn't this strain credulity more than a little?

Read the article first before replying please. Answers within the bounds of reason and sanity appreciated.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not a Bush-lover. But lets look at liberals and leftists ranting about how 'evil' we are. Cindy Sheehan called USA a fascist state. WTF? If USA was a fascist state, she wouldn't even be able to say a word about the war and every protester would be either shot or put into concentration camps. Tookie Williams, a convicted murderer sentenced to death, became a hero for leftists because they think that his execution was a racist decision. Are they nuts?! He murdered four innocent people. What the hell does it have to do with race? There are white people who are being executed, but I don't see anybody complaining about racism. When another black armed suspect is shot by the police, the officers are being accused of racism and black people claim they are being oppressed. Are you moron? A suspect was shot because he was threatening innocent people, not because of his race. I'm sick of those retarded, ignorant and totally ridiculous claims of oppression and racism!!

Of course they do, right? Always wanting to give the little guy a leg up? Why I'll bet Barbra Streisand's gardener makes at least 20% more than the guy who trims the flowers of the little people.

"We have sent a message to your young people that if you don't go to college and you don't have a high-paying job--something like a basketball palyer or an entertainer, or maybe someone in a corporation--that you're thought less of in America."
Hillary Clinton

Since when do we do that in this country? Most people I know don't have a college degree and have done quite well for themselves. 72% of Americans don't have a college degree and about half never attended college. Who is this woman talking about anyway?

During the 90's when the republicans controlled congress and the Democrats controlled the white house, a bi-partisen agreement was reached that any time a program was proposed that included increased spending, it had to be offset by reducing spending somewhere else. The result was a budget surplus. After George Bush was elected, the republicans controlled Congress and the Whitehouse. At that time pay as you go was abandoned. It seemed like very logical idea and have never understood why it was pushed to the side.

I know by law the guy can go to jail. But I'm talking about "real life" here. What do they actually do? Does the guy actually goes to jail if the parents don't report it or what?

Bush Set To Veto Bipartisan Plan To Expand Children's Health Insurance.

The vow puts Mr. Bush at odds with the Democratic majority in Congress, with a substantial number of Republican lawmakers and with many governors of both parties, who want to expand the popular program to cover some of the nation's eight million uninsured children.

I have heard over and over that the police are horrible people and they are nothing but criminals that have not been caught. I find that impossible to believe, and I am curious to find out why people do not like them. I am not looking for dumb answers such as "They are bullies." or 'They harrassed me." I am looking for a real reason, one that is thought out and articulate. Give the whole story...not just the police response.

I entered Emergency room 3 times each 2 day's apart. Was released all three times with advice to take Tylenol advil. To make a long story short, I ended up in another hospital under the advice of friends & family. Was in for 2 weeks for heart surgery. I was in a similar situation 11 years ago. Decided not to do anything. Enough is enough
Any thoughts?
