America's Third War: Texas Strikes Back
http://www.foxnews.com/us/2010/1…“I never thought that we’d be in this paramilitary type of engagement. It's a war on the border," said Captain Stacy Holland with the Texas Department of Public Safety.
Holland leads a fleet of 16 state-of-the-art helicopters that make up the aviation assets used by the Texas DPS to fight Mexican drug cartels.
- "I never thought that we'd be in this paramilitary type engagement." Where the fuck has he been for the past 30 years?IRNlun6
- ... years. It's fucking idiots like this that think it's a big surprise that Cartels are well funded and heavily armed.IRNlun6
- Plus that chopper wouldn't stand a chance if we really decided to start fighting the Cartels.IRNlun6

Boehner is issued warning by Tea Party (the people who's rhetoric he used to rise to power):
"The Ohio Liberty Council, the main umbrella organization for 58 Tea Party groups in the state, supports efforts to strengthen the OCE and is warning House GOP leaders that any attempt to weaken it will upset Tea Party activists.
“I[f] they move in the opposite direction of transparency that this office provides, I think we will be very upset about that,” said Chris Littleton, president of the Ohio Liberty Council and the Cincinnati Tea Party. “Symbolically, it’s a huge problem for them ... they should be as transparent as they can be. Any opposition to that would be inappropriate on their part.”
Boehner and GOP leaders are gearing up to kill the Office of Congressional Ethics:

Verdict raises hackles over trying terror suspects in civilian courts
http://www.washingtontimes.com/n…
The commander of the USS Cole when it was attacked by al Qaeda terrorists in 2000 said the verdict against Ghailani - found guilty on only one of 285 counts - represented "a mockery of justice and is further proof that civilian trials for enemy combatants is a foolish and misguided strategy."
"Once again, under the watch of the Obama administration, justice is being sacrificed at the altar of political expediency," Kirk S. Lippold said. "The families of those killed by the terrorists have been re-victimized by Attorney General [Eric H. Holder Jr.s] decision to use the federal court system to prosecute terrorists."
--------------
Now if you or one of your brothers or sisters were on the USS Cole, how the fuck would you feel right now?
- We wouldn't be in this position if the Bush Administration hadn't instituted a torture policy. We can't magically ignore the repercussions of their policies and it's effects on the prosecution of these combatants.IRNlun6
- ... repercussions of their policies and it's effects on the prosecution of these combatants.IRNlun6
- Any information gathered from coercive interrogation and lack of evidence, also doesn't hold up in a military tribunal. Hence the lack of prosecutions in the remaining detainees.IRNlun6
- ... the lack of prosecutions in the remaning detainees.IRNlun6

"The criminal and civil probes, which authorities say could eclipse the impact on the financial industry of any previous such investigation, are examining whether multiple insider-trading rings reaped illegal profits totaling tens of millions of dollars, the people say. Some charges could be brought before year-end, they say."
