How about it?

Is this the real reason for telling everybody to shut-up about the war, "we will arrest all dissenters."
Plus the announcement that Al-Qaeda is growing and he is NOT going to stop the war. Pushing fear on America so that we will not "resist" it too much.

Citizen arrest is allowed for any felony committed in front of a person. If a citizen sees a previously deported alien then can the citizen arrest the alien since under 18 USC 1326. the re-entry of removed aliens is a felony with up to 2 years in jail?

You can verify whether an alien has a warrant of deportation by calling 1-800-898-7180 and entering the Alien Registration Number.

Maybe if there were more citizen arrests, then ICE would be embrassed into doing it's job!

I told ONE of my coworkers what had happened and then we reported the incident to my bosses. they made me write down exactly what had happened and made me sign a ppr that said I wouldnt speak to any of my coworkers about it. the next day they called me to tell me they had an investigation and that the incident "had in fact happened." they told me that they had taken care of the situation and taken “appropriate measures” and that if he ever spoke to me again I had to report it immediately. For a few days he was gone from my work. We were even told that he was in another city. Today he was at work again. we saw each other but neither one of us said anything. I was shocked to see him there after everything. I truly feel afraid to be at my work which I told my bosses. I feel disrespected and confused. Some ppl are telling me take legal action but I dont know what options I have if any at all. Does anyone have any advice on what do? Has this happened to anyone? Help plese!!

It is almost like the republican party is the loud speaker for the terrorists. After all if a terrorist says it is important, then republicans tend to think it must be. For instance the most repeated proof that Bush has offered for terrorists in Iraq is a quote of bin laden saying how important the Iraq war is.

Please, are you guys really serious? Do you honestly think hes going to become a dictator? Have you ever heard or checks and balances, or the constitution? And who would enforce it, the US Military isn't going to become Bush's private mercenary army, don't forget they are American husbands, wives, fathers, sons, mothers, daughters as well.

I have discovered that if I make a valid will of sound mind, free will and demand my body be buried (or conversely cremented) that irrespective what I demand in my will of the means for disposal (buried/cremented), my next of kin as been given the fundamental right to deside the means of disposal (buried/cremented).

I, who makes the will (and all other people in the uk), have not been given that right! And yet, the contents applicable to the material/financial aspects of my/your will, the next of kin, as no right whatsoever to alter the (my/your) stipulations in that respect.

In other words I can make a will of which the integrity is not open to a successful legal challange and demand that I be cremented and my next of kin can for whatever her reason, can ignore my demand for cremention and have me buried and that's legal for her to do so!

Why as a next of kin been given that fundamental right and we who make a will are denied/had removed that right?

This is outrageous!!

Okay if one of your family members was found to be a perpetrator by omission for child molestation because they didn't report it when it was told to them, are they allowed to babysit children under the age of 18 even though they're listed with childline as a perpetrator by omission? I thought you weren't to have contact with children under the age of 18 under these circumstances?

I am terrified one of these idiots is actually going to get in. I am sure the terrorists are just giddy over the prospects of getting Hillary or Obama as president. Then they wont have to worry about that pesky Patriot act that has been screwing up all their plans.

Congressman Denied Access To Post-Attack Continuity Plans
Newhouse News Service

Tuesday 24 July 2007

Washington - Constituents called Rep. Peter DeFazio's office, worried there was a conspiracy buried in the classified portion of a White House plan for operating the government after a terrorist attack.

As a member of the House Committee on Homeland Security, DeFazio, D-Ore., is permitted to enter a secure "bubbleroom" in the Capitol and examine classified material. So he asked the White House to see the secret documents.

On Wednesday, DeFazio got his answer: DENIED.

"I just can't believe they're going to deny a member of Congress the right of reviewing how they plan to conduct the government of the United States after a significant terrorist attack," DeFazio said.

Homeland Security Committee staffers told his office that the White House initially approved his request, but it was later quashed. DeFazio doesn't know who did it or why.

I was thinking of joining the army but would rather work in intelligence gathering and analyzation over combat. Do all of the jobs in the army involve some sort of combat? Or will an intelligence gathering job not involve combat?

I am British and I fail to understand this concept that American soldiers must necessarily be "fighting for freedom". And if it weren't for them 'you'd have no freedom'. I've seen many liberals who are generally against the war but uphols this 'fighting for our freedom' thing to.

I can't really see anyone who is a threat to the freedom that exists in the US. They have the biggest military in the world, it's one of the richest counties in the world, but are a bunch of Islamic crazies really a threat to American society as a whole? Also all the major wars that's been fought since the second world war seems to have been fought to further the interests of the American elites (Vietnam, Iraq etc.)

BTW: I'm not insulting American soldiers or anything here. I don't have anything against them as I've never met any of them and I hope they get home OK. I'd just like this cleared up.

Democrats Can't Handle the Good News

Very good news is coming out of Iraq. Not surprisingly, this hasn’t caused a change of heart among the Democratic leadership. It hasn't even given them pause. One wonders if they are capable of hearing such news anymore.
The Times Online reports that Al Qaeda is facing rebellion from within its ranks. Fed up with being part of a group that cuts off a persons face with piano wire to teach others a lesson, dozens of low-level members of Al Qaeda are daring to become informants for the U.S. military in a hostile Baghdad neighborhood.
Some of these junior Al Qaeda members are said to be repulsed by the gratuitous, barbaric violence. One said, I am sick of it and I hate them, and I am done.
The good news doesn't stop here. Al Qaeda is not only facing internal dissension, but evidence is also emerging that other ethnic forces formerly friendly to Al Qaeda are changing their tune. Iraqi locals are denying Al Qaeda the sanctuary they need to operate. Lt. Col Stephen Michael, commander of a 700-troop battalion in Doura, says, Al Qaedas days are numbered, and right now he is scrambling.
This news, says the Times, comes out of Doura. But it is part of a wider trend that has started in other Al Qaeda hotspots across the country and in which Sunni insurgent groups and tribal sheikhs have stood together with the coalition against the extremist movement.
Along the same lines, The Washington Times reports that U.S. forces have brokered an agreement between Sunni and Shiite tribal leaders in Taji, Iraq, to join forces against Al Qaeda and other extremists, which represents an extension of a policy already implemented in Anbar province that has transformed the security situation there.
This isn't some flimsy handshake deal. Tribal leaders agreed to use members of more than 25 local tribes to protect the area around Taji from Sunni and Shiite extremists. It's also significant that tribal forces approached U.S. forces to initiate this agreement.
Al Qaedas inhumanity is not the only reason things are beginning to change in Iraq. The reports clearly indicate that the increased number of U.S. forces in Doura has made the locals feel it's less dangerous for them to turn toward us. These reports are direct confirmation that the surge strategy is working.
The Washington Times also reports -- surely much to the chagrin of war naysayers who have gloated that we have been greeted not as liberators but occupiers -- that U.S. soldiers walking through Sunni villages have been greeted warmly, with locals shaking the soldiers' hands and kissing their cheeks. Just a month ago, according to Sgt. Richard Fisk, every single one of these people was shooting at us.
Has any of this good news coming out of Iraq prompted Democrats to rethink their opposition to victory?
A brief survey of recent headlines reveals quite the opposite. Sunday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said he would press forward on legislation to pull U.S. troops out of Iraq, despite the Democrat's failed efforts last week to pass such a bill. He also said Republicans who voted against withdrawal of our troops were engaged in partisan gamesmanship. If that isn't a textbook case of psychological projection, Ive never seen one.
Meanwhile, Senator Russ Feingold told NBCs Tim Russert that he wants Congress to censure President Bush for his management of the Iraq War and his assault on the Constitution. While Reid didn't readily warm to the idea of a censure, he did say that the president already has the mark of the American people that hes the worst president weve ever had. How’s that for rising above partisanship and supporting your commander in chief during wartime?
Elsewhere, that great patriot from San Francisco, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, derided President Bush’s call for congressional Democrats to rise above partisanship. Like Reid, Pelosi said the American people have lost faith in Bush and she will continue to cause Congress to vote to end this war every chance she gets.
Speaking of partisanship, news reports around the web demonstrate that while the Bush administration and our armed forces are doing everything they can to accomplish serious, non-partisan business in Iraq in furtherance of the nonpartisan goal of promoting our national security; Democratic leaders are bogging down the administration in frivolous investigations over matters that aren't even arguably illegal.
In other news, Democratic presidential candidates are traveling the country trying to outdo each other in the nonpartisan activity of pandering to illegal immigrants for their votes (Obama has gone so far as to court La Raza). Other party leaders are trying to develop strategies to unburden the party of its image as the party of abortion. Of course, they're not doing anything to unburden themselves of the party's moral failure on it.
That concludes our report.
