After listening to da former Gov. on T.V. and radio interviews I'm certain that Jesse is a member of "The Zeitgeist Movement", or at lest a practitioner of their theories.
A funny thing happened later that day on da "Opie & Anthony" show. Jesse was verbally attacked by a over zealous, pompous. crappy 'comedian' try'n to make a name fer himself. After watch'n da video, Jim Norton was very lucky he still has a head. I would just squashed his lil' pea head inta sour mash. Ventura just walked out after 20min. of his rambling, but you could see in his eyes he wanted to smack da lil 'retardo. I'd load it up, but Blogger takes like 20 minutes to load a 6 minute video. Norton is a former comic on the T.V. show "So You Think Your Funny?" or sumthin? So he has tons of credo to take on a highly decorated former Navy Seal and a Governor of Minnesota on his ideas on facts of life. It was an insulting venture at the very lest. Sometimes ya gotta just shut-up and listen. That's my advise anyway. I'm sure Jim Norton thinks he's right to voice an opinion and Jesse gave him full time to do so, but a 20 minute tirade is more than anyone could take. Norton has a "small man syndrome" and I've run into this type of guy before... Many a time... Best to just walk away on guys like these. Jim Norton kept say'n over and over.."your a big guy... "your a big man"... "you want to hit me?... Stuff like that... Total "Napoleon Complex"!
But I would'a just dropped 'em! Jesse is da better man than me, fer sure!

Ask yourself. "Who am I dealing with"? Scum Of Da Earth, That's Who!
Da Sea runs red with atrocities that are committed daily by the Japanese, Taiwanese and Chinese fishing fleets. The Asian fishing industry is controlled by the Asian mob, with no mortality. They are terrorizing our oceans in a way that in ten years we will be talking about areas that no longer contain any sea life. By using long lines and many others ways of gathering sea life, these scum of da sea are killing not only fish, dolphins, whales and sharks. they are killing the air that we breathe. Ya see da sea is the major source of oxygen in our world.

Tiger Woods did not suffer facial lacerations from a car accident. They were inflicted by his wife, Elin Nordegren -- according to a conversation Woods had Friday after the accident.
Tiger has yet to be formally interviewed by the Florida Highway Patrol -- that should happen this afternoon. But we're told Tiger had a conversation Friday -- with a non-law enforcement type -- detailing what went down before his Escalade hit a fire hydrant.
We're told he said his wife had confronted him about reports that he was seeing another woman. The argument got heated and, according to our source, she scratched his face up. We're told it was then Woods beat a hasty retreat for his SUV -- but according to our source, Woods says his wife followed behind with a golf club. As Tiger drove away, she struck the vehicle several times with the club.
We're told Woods became "distracted," thought the vehicle was stopped, and looked to see what had happened. At that point the SUV hit the fire hydrant and then hit a tree.

HA HA HA.
So da great Tiger Woods isn't so pristine. What a dolt get'n whacked by his wife. Doesn't this goof know if your gonna bang some broad on da side never admit guilt? And if you do... Do it with a fax or email like Phil Collins. hehehe... He deserves every golf club ta da head and every scratch to da face. I always knew this guy was a social retard. Here's da proof. They keep this Woods guy bottled up in a very tight bubble, millions of miles from da press. Mainly because if he is ever asked a slightly difficult question he'll become totally unraveled. In reality Tiger Woods has a huge ego and from what I hear, a total diva. They said the same thing about Albert Einstein so he's in great company. He has few friends, mostly groomers and golf buds. In his early life he never really got to play with other kids, so he has zero social skills. This young gal who he got hooked up with was a master player. She was determined to hook a major athlete like Tiger. Ala: Wayne Gretzky & Janet Jones. Jones blew every athlete in existence til Wayne fell fer her. Elin was much da same, known to take a like'n to Swedish hockey players. But who cares? The moral here is: Tiger Woods = Stupid Retard!
Is that a moral? hmmm... I think not... But he is quite dim anyway and this story made Me laugh today. Thanx Tig'r

Update 12/02/09:
I have let my family down and I regret those transgressions with all of my heart. I have not been true to my values and the behavior my family deserves. I am not without faults and I am far short of perfect. I am dealing with my behavior and personal failings behind closed doors with my family. Those feelings should be shared by us alone.
Although I am a well-known person and have made my career as a professional athlete, I have been dismayed to realize the full extent of what tabloid scrutiny really means. For the last week, my family and I have been hounded to expose intimate details of our personal lives. The stories in particular that physical violence played any role in the car accident were utterly false and malicious. Elin has always done more to support our family and shown more grace than anyone could possibly expect.
But no matter how intense curiosity about public figures can be, there is an important and deep principle at stake which is the right to some simple, human measure of privacy. I realize there are some who don’t share my view on that. But for me, the virtue of privacy is one that must be protected in matters that are intimate and within one’s own family. Personal sins should not require press releases and problems within a family shouldn’t have to mean public confessions.
Whatever regrets I have about letting my family down have been shared with and felt by us alone. I have given this a lot of reflection and thought and I believe that there is a point at which I must stick to that principle even though it’s difficult.
I will strive to be a better person and the husband and father that my family deserves. For all of those who have supported me over the years, I offer my profound apology.

MONTREAL - Scores of slogan-chanting supporters of Quebec independence blasted the British monarchy and pelted soldiers with eggs in a lone sour note to Prince Charles' otherwise pleasant day trip to Quebec on Tuesday. Chanting a variety of political messages including the famous independence call, "Le Quebec aux Quebecois," about 200 demonstrators initially blocked the prince's path into an event where he was to salute members of a historic regiment. Shield-and baton-wielding riot police eventually moved into the crowd, shoving protesters back hundreds of metres to clear a path for Charles' motorcade. Police confirmed several arrests but gave no exact number. The noisy anti-monarchy crowd was the biggest of the day for the prince, who drew small but enthusiastic gatherings at earlier events throughout the day. Even the protest itself was cordial at times: despite all the shouted swear words and crude hand gestures, some in the crowd graciously picked up debris and handed it over to police for safe disposal.
Most demonstrators either waved Fleur-de-lis flags or brandished signs with slogans such as Down With the Monarchy as they gathered outside the building housing the Black Watch (Royal Highland Regiment) of Canada. A few pelted eggs in the soldiers' direction. Some sat in the middle of the street chanting as members of the Montreal police riot squad moved in. The protest delayed the prince's scheduled arrival for 45 minutes, but Charles eventually made it in. The prince joked about the delay to his audience when he finally arrived to give the regiment its new colours. "I just want to say how very sorry my wife and I are to have kept you waiting so long," he said. "I fear there was a little local disturbance." Patrick Bourgeois, one of the protesters, said outside the armoury that the British monarchy has exploited people all over world and that Quebec is no exception.
The symbol of the monarchy has been resented by many French-Canadians for centuries, and Bourgeois and others said members of the Royal Family had no business being in Quebec. Bourgeois also linked the prince's visit with the military mission in Afghanistan which features British and Canadian soldiers. Quebec is against the war in Afghanistan," said Bourgeois, a member of the pro-independence Reseau de Resistance du Quebecois. "And now it's our chance to pass that message to Prince Charles and many people across Canada." The heir to the throne commented on the toll taken by the war in Afghanistan when he addressed the troops, noting the death of one member of the regiment, Cpl. Jason Warren. He was killed in July 2006 when a suicide bomber rammed his armoured vehicle with a carload of explosives. "With both my sons serving in the armed forces, and one of them having served in Afghanistan, I know only too well the constant nagging anxiety which permeates your life when a loved one is placed in harm's way, particularly during deployment overseas," Charles said. "To all the families gathered here this evening I want to say publicly, and with all my heart, thank you for the crucial love and understanding you provide to those who have chosen to serve us all and defend those things we hold dear."
There was one lone protester at the first event: one man, holding up a Quebec flag, with a T-shirt that said: Quebec Un Pays (Quebec A Country). He got into a heated exchange with a journalist from Toronto when the reporter tried asking questions in English - and he refused to answer. The couple's Montreal activities included a trip to the Cirque du soleil headquarters where they attended a brief performance by acrobats, and an ecological centre where they saw a simulated rain forest and frigid habitat for penguins. The royal tour is scheduled to be in Petawawa, Ont., and Ottawa on Wednesday for Remembrance Day ceremonies.
Even before the curtain has risen on the Australian leg of Britney Spears' Circus tour, the U.S. pop performer has already become embroiled in a local furor over lip-synching. A debate about entertainers who lip-synch or mime their performances to pre-recorded music has broken out, tied to Spears arriving Down Under for a 15-concert stint beginning with a pair of shows in Perth on Friday and Saturday. After reports emerged that Spears would be lip-synching in her tour's shows — for which ticket prices range from $97 Aus. up to $1,475 for VIP seating — even the government has weighed in on the debate. New South Wales Fair Trading Minister Virginia Judge has suggested that a law be enacted to impel performers who use pre-recorded music in their performances to carry a disclaimer on their tickets and not be allowed to bill the performances as "live." Australians will not tolerate a "Mickey Mouse performance," Judge told Sydney's Daily Telegraph, referencing the singer's stint on the The All New Mickey Mouse Club TV show as a child. "Let's be clear — live means live," said Judge, who is also the minister assisting the premier on the arts. "If you are spending up to $200 Aus., I think you deserve better than a film clip."
'Let's be clear — live means live...If you are spending up to $200, I think you deserve better than a film clip.'
—Virginia Judge, NSW Minister
Consumer groups have argued that not disclosing lip-synching in concerts equates to misleading advertising. Fans deserve to know what they were paying for, says Consumer Affairs Minister Tony Robinson of the Victorian Legislative Assembly. "We believe it is good business practice for concert promoters to make it clear to consumers before they buy tickets whether the performer will be miming, and make this clear on advertising, posters and other promotional materials," he told the Herald Sun.

Australia is the single stupidest nation on Earth. Great look'n people mind ya, but real empty upstairs! Who cares what Britney Spears does during her show? Do they post notices that Wrestling is fake out side of arenas and on tickets? "What they do???" They do? Yup they do! This is a nation that has to be told they are watching something that is fake. They even expose magicians. That's true, they expose magicians as tricksters. MAN ARE THEY DUMB! They have'ta tell audiences that the Magician isn't actually cutting da woman in half. "Ahh...

My wife loves to travel and wants to take me to "Da Land Down Under". I'm not so sure 'bout that? I thought da English were dumb enuff. I don't even want to think about hang'n around with people who can't pronounce "Hello". "elow dar mate". I've partied with people from all over da world. People from da USA are da best party'rs in da world, no doubt about it, da best. Except for one region. I can bet every person from da U.S. knows who I'm talk'n about right? Texans. The single most annoying bloated ego in da land! Hideous people! Who's worse? Who's worse than a bloated, drunk'n ass from Texas? That's right. A fuck'n Australian! A bandy legged, stale smoke smelling, toothless Englishman can seem like a genius next to a big headed, over tanned, pompous Australian. But like a big dog they can be very loyal. They can be trained to do da simplest taskes, like hold a gun, shoot and fire. Plus they're strong as ol'beat'hell. Stupid and strong. Great combo during warfare. That's why whenever there's a fight to be had, there's an Aussie, put'n up his dukes. "Cum on, cum on". They're always da first to lose too. They've never quite figured out how not to lead with their chin. Dumb as all get'out. This is a country that brags about have'n da most caualties during the 1'st and 2'nd World Wars. Who brags about losing the most men? Australia that's who. I would think if you lost the lest amount of men during war, that would be da victory? Not to an Aussie, nope. "Wee Losed Da Most"...
Anyway.. I got off topic... Hey Britney if you wanna show your backside and lip-synch a few numbers come to Canada. We wont embarrass you as a fraud and a no tallent.

TORONTO - Pamela Anderson cuddled a seal mascot Friday and used her iconic Barbie-like assets to draw attention to what she called the "shameful practice" of seal hunting in her homeland. Anderson told a gathering outside Ontario's legislature that she wanted to save Canada from further international embarrassment over a "barbaric massacre." "When I travel all over the world, the Canadian seal hunt is a huge issue that people talk to me about," she said. "So I'm trying to save some embarrassment." Anderson, 42, braved blustering winds and a bone-chilling damp while clad in a one shoulder sheath and strappy heels. Her handlers ensured not a drop of rain reached her primped hair and makeup. After posing with the mascot and a picture of her air-brushed self wearing a "Save the Seals" T-shirt, the former "Baywatch" star took time to answer gossip questions. "No," she replied when asked if she's selling her Malibu home. "Don't believe any of that crap," she said, adding, "I have a home in Canada too". "Being Canadian, I feel I am hopefully a good voice here," she said while shutters snapped around her. med of her homeland's seal hunt".
Minister of Fisheries and Oceans Gail Shea called Anderson's remarks disappointing and suggested she spend time with East Coast sealers to understand the hunt's importance. "Hollywood celebrities are not going to dictate policy in Canada because we make decisions that are based on science and consultation with Canadians," Shea said in a telephone interview. Anderson, a B.C. native, was in Toronto to launch her new animal-friendly clothing line at Fashion Week. The actress and activist is one of several celebrities, including Kelly Osborne and Perez Hilton, who are part of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals campaign calling for an end to the annual seal hunt. PETA says the ads will appear in entertainment magazines and on blogs and will be tweeted in many languages starting this fall. The aim is to keep pressure on the government year-round instead of just during the spring when protests are expected. Anderson said baby seals are bludgeoned in front of their mothers before they have their first swim, but Shea said the killing of baby seals hasn't been practised in Canada since the early '80s. Activists focus on it because it tugs at the heart strings, Shea said. "They still use the pictures of white seal pups, which are very cute, and of course they're bleeding red blood on white ice," she said. "It's all very dramatic, but it doesn't happen." The hunt is not just a tradition but a big part of the economy in coastal communities that do not the same economic opportunities as other parts of the country, Shea added.
Prominent figures like U.S. President Barack Obama, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin and the Dalai Lama have spoken out against the hunt. But many Canadian politicians support it, saying it gives remote regions an economic boost. Gov. Gen. Michaelle Jean made international headlines this summer when she helped carve a seal and ate part of its heart in support of the traditional aboriginal hunt. PETA claims it is not targeting the aboriginal hunt but the East Coast commercial hunt. Shea said there should be no distinction because seals are slaughtered in both hunts for economic reasons. "It's every bit as important to the East Coast of Canada as it is to the Inuit."
Canada To Barack Obama & Vlad Putin... "Shut The fuck-up as well"! "Quit killing men and women all over da world for profit" "Quit do'n business with China and Japan, because both of these countries are the sole reason our oceans are being picked clean"!
Back To Pam... Here's some info that ought to be of interest to Ms. Anderson? She suffers from Hepatitis C, a virus that puts her at high risk for liver disease and liver cancer. The American Liver Foundation believes that animal testing is essential for finding a cure, and Ms. Anderson herself served in 2002 as grand marshal for an American Liver Foundation fund-raiser. Must have left her PETA T-shirt at home that day?!
She's full o' shit! She's also misinformed and a bit of a retard.

Tim Hortons strikes gold at Fort Knox
Fort Knox in Kentucky is the first U.S. military base to feature a Tim Hortons restaurant. The iconic military facility, best known as the home for one of the largest gold deposits in the world, serves more than 30,000 soldiers, their families and civilians who live and work there. The Fort Knox location continues our long-standing relationship with troops. Tim Hortons restaurants are located on seven Canadian military bases, as well as at the armed forces base Kandahar, Afghanistan.

Mars, too, appears to be enjoying more mild and balmy temperatures.
In 2005 data from NASA's Mars Global Surveyor and Odyssey missions revealed that the carbon dioxide "ice caps" near Mars's south pole had been diminishing for three summers in a row.
Habibullo Abdussamatov, head of space research at St. Petersburg's Pulkovo Astronomical Observatory in Russia, says the Mars data is evidence that the current global warming on Earth is being caused by changes in the sun.
"The long-term increase in solar irradiance is heating both Earth and Mars," he said.
Solar Cycles
Abdussamatov believes that changes in the sun's heat output can account for almost all the climate changes we see on both planets.
Mars and Earth, for instance, have experienced periodic ice ages throughout their histories.
"Man-made greenhouse warming has made a small contribution to the warming seen on Earth in recent years, but it cannot compete with the increase in solar irradiance," Abdussamatov said.
By studying fluctuations in the warmth of the sun, Abdussamatov believes he can see a pattern that fits with the ups and downs in climate we see on Earth and Mars.
Abdussamatov's work, however, has not been well received by other climate scientists.
"Planets' Wobbles" (Or da ol' switcheroo)
The conventional theory is that climate changes on Mars can be explained primarily by small alterations in the planet's orbit and tilt, not by changes in the sun.
"Wobbles in the orbit of Mars are the main cause of its climate change in the current era," Oxford's Wilson explained. (Ya don't blame the obvious, blame the very notion on something else.)
All planets experience a few wobbles as they make their journey around the sun. Earth's wobbles are known as Milankovitch cycles and occur on time scales of between 20,000 and 100,000 years.
These fluctuations change the tilt of Earth's axis and its distance from the sun and are thought to be responsible for the waxing and waning of ice ages on Earth.
Mars and Earth wobble in different ways, and most scientists think it is pure coincidence that both planets are between ice ages right now. (Mmm Hmmm...)
"Mars has no [large] moon, which makes its wobbles much larger, and hence the swings in climate are greater too," Wilson said. (Of coarse!)
No Greenhouse
He claims that carbon dioxide has only a small influence on Earth's climate and virtually no influence on Mars.
But "without the greenhouse effect there would be very little, if any, life on Earth, since our planet would pretty much be a big ball of ice," said Evan, of the University of Wisconsin.
Abdussamatov remains contrarian, however, suggesting that the sun holds something quite different in store.
"The solar irradiance began to drop in the 1990s, and a minimum will be reached by approximately 2040," Abdussamatov said. "It will cause a steep cooling of the climate on Earth in 15 to 20 years."
When your planet becomes warm wouldn't it be wise to first question da source of da heat? Eco-minded scientists seem to "poo poo" the idea that the sun, our source of heat, has any responsibility for a change of temperature on Earth. They fail to release information that leads to solar flares as the reason that our planet is warming. Even though they know this has happened hundreds of times, if not thousands of times, in it's history. Or is it they don't want to even broach that topic, or are they paid not to study the obvious, our Sun. There are real scientists that are studying the phenomenon that is happening to our planet. And they have real answers. They are not paid buy oil companies or venture capitalists so their science is not being recognized by the "pay media". We on our own should start to see what this "Climate Change" lobby is really trying to sell.
1) Carbon Taxes. 2) Eco venture capitalists. 3) Higher oil prices. 4) Control of all energy markets... Etc...
But the worst of all: An end to any real social economic problems. Because your tax money will be wasted elsewhere. Much like a vacuum.
When a man like Al Gore is at the head of a movement like "Global Warming" or whatever he's calling it now? " Climate Change"? You have to ask yourself why? This is a man that has never in his life done anything but for Al Gore. He was instrumental in taking away rights and freedoms of artists in da 1980's. He did this only to make a name for himself. This is a driven man that holds major stocks and holdings in pharmaceutical and medical fields. Such as the H1N1 virus vaccine. "Google Al Gore and H1N1" and get a surprise. He also has ties with venture capitalists in the oil industry. His family owns a huge amount of stock in Colombian Oil. In fact his government was at fault in deregulating the oil market. In so much has raked in millions dollars doing so. This man at best is a lair. And at worst a fraud and a con artist.
You have to ask yourself. What does he have in it?
And if he is the leader? How good is the cause?

The long and short of it is... Corporations (Water Management Moguls) have a large amount of money wrapped up in selling water. If they kill off a huge, FREE, water table that will open up: Water treatment plants; Piped water to farm lands; Piped water to housing projects... It's endless really.
In all reality there are no water shortages, just pure water that doesn't need to be treated to be potable. There really is water everywhere on Earth. The same drop that was here when Cesar was ruler of da world is still here today (except what was taken into space o'coarse). It hasn't gone anywhere. Even in da remotest desert, water streams underneath. Maybe deep underneath, but it's there. Garbage should be the easiest product to deal with, but out'a sheer laziness and lack of knowledge on out part, we let governments take easily recycled materials and, well, dump it. It's time to put our creative scientific minds to work. We must stop dump'n trash on agricultural lands. Stop kill'n our farms. Stop making pure water, polluted water...etc... All for the greed of large corporations to sell something to us that's already there. If there was one scam in da world that is true and utter bullshit... This Is It!

UPDATE: "Protesters win their one year moratorium on landfill Site 41"!
In Brazil, maybe – but not in North America, not in Canada. "This (rise in sugar) has absolutely nothing to do with ethanol, particularly in Ontario," said Field, lamenting the spread of information that most proponents of ethanol blame on the oil and food lobbies. Lack of monsoon rains in India had helped put a squeeze on global sugar production, pushing prices up more than 74 per cent this year. But sugar fell yesterday for a second day in London on speculation recent rain in India will improve prospects for the harvest in October. White, or refined, sugar for October delivery dropped $1.20 (U.S.), or 0.2 per cent, to $551.80 a tonne in London on the Liffe exchange. The contract has dropped 6.5 per cent from last week's $589.90, the highest price since at least 1983.
Most of the ethanol produced and used in North America comes from corn, not sugar, said Field, whose company buys about 60 million bushels of corn a year. "Fact is, there's lots of corn, so the price of ethanol is not going to go up. If anything, it's going to be lower." The U.S. Agriculture Department said last week the United States is expected to have its second-largest corn crop this year, with farmers harvesting 12.76 billion bushels. That's up 5 per cent compared with 2008. When last year's leftover stock is added, the total U.S. corn supply will swell to nearly 14.5 billion bushels – the highest level on record. Ethanol producers will use up about a third of that corn to meet a U.S. mandate this year that 10.5 billion gallons of ethanol be blended with vehicle fuel, a requirement that climbs to 12 billion gallons in 2010. (Across Canada the mandate is 5 per cent of all vehicle fuel) Even with a 15 per cent increase in the number of corn bushels used this year for U.S. ethanol production, a year-end surplus of 1.62 billion bushels is expected. "Where's the food-for-fuel debate?" said Field. "There's no shortage."
To counter concerns that producing ethanol from corn is too energy-intensive, doesn't do much to reduce greenhouse gases and leads to higher food prices by diverting land away from food crops – claims many call alarmist – the biofuel industry is developing a second-generation ethanol that's made from agricultural, forest and even municipal waste. So-called cellulosic ethanol requires far less energy to make and doesn't compete with food. The technology exists; the challenge for the industry is to drive down the cost. Greenfield, for example, is part of a joint venture in Edmonton that is turning plastics and paper fibres from municipal solid waste into ethanol. The company has also built a pilot plant in Chatham that can convert corncobs into ethanol.
"The results are phenomenal," Field said.
He estimates that using corncobs alone could increase the yield of one of his existing corn ethanol plants by up to 25 per cent.

Military-civilian terror prison eyed!
WASHINGTON – The Obama administration is looking at creating a courtroom-within-a-prison complex in the U.S. to house suspected terrorists, combining military and civilian detention facilities at a single maximum-security prison. Several senior U.S. officials said the administration is eyeing a soon-to-be-shuttered state maximum security prison in Michigan and the 134-year-old military penitentiary at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., as possible locations for a heavily guarded site to hold the 229 suspected al-Qaida, Taliban and foreign fighters now jailed at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp in Cuba. The officials outlined the plans — the latest effort to comply with President Barack Obama's order to close the prison camp by Jan. 22, 2010, and satisfy congressional and public fears about incarcerating terror suspects on American soil — on condition of anonymity because the options are under review
White House spokesman Ben LaBolt said Friday that no decisions have been made about the proposal. But the White House considers the courtroom-prison complex as the best among a series of bad options, an administration official said. For months, government lawyers and senior officials at the Pentagon, Justice Department and the White House have struggled with how to close the internationally reviled U.S. Navy prison at Guantanamo. Congress has blocked $80 million intended to bring the detainees to the United States. Lawmakers want the administration to say how it plans to make the moves without putting Americans at risk. The facility would operate as a hybrid prison system jointly operated by the Justice Department, the military and the Department of Homeland Security. Scott Silliman, director of Duke University's Center on Law, Ethics and National Security, called the proposal "totally unprecedented" and said he doubts the plan would work without Congress' involvement.

OK how is this any different than da Guantanamo Bay Internment Camp? Except it's now on U.S. soil instead of Cuba. Obama is a liar. Well not a full out liar, but a man that bends da truth to suit his needs. He said he would close Guantanamo and he will, but only to open another "Super Prison" on da mainland. He will still house hundreds of men, without proper trials, without proper representation, and when the charges are laid the detainee will get a kangaroo style court with total anonymity.
"Ahhh who cares! Why not just shoot'em in da head, ala: "Da Russian Tribunal". They're just a bunch O'Towel Heads anyway!"
I know how some Americans feel about these men and I sympathize with you all. Unfortunately your and my Constitutions and a lil'thing called da Geneva Convention gives these men rights. But in 2005 Congress passed something called "Tittle X: War On Terror Detainee Legislation". Obama and his lackeys are using this totally bogus law, created by da Bush Administration, to keep these men locked up.
Don't get me wrong after due process if some, or all of these men are in fact terrorists and are a danger to our society, lock'em up, hang'em, shoot'em in da head, who cares?! But in fact, most of these guys aren't that at all. They are simple men stuck in a world of injustice. During da Second World War, thousands of men were put in internment camps by da "Allied Forces". There were prisoner of war camps located back here at home and abroad. An uprising of unsympathetic minds, driven by propaganda, voiced crap like... "Why should we care for these scum"..."Kill'em, they kill ours"... There was a huge outcry of right wingers that wanted these men killed and/or torchered. What do you think would have happened if we did that? I think you know? No I know you know! All of these prisoners of war went back home and became productive people in the world. German and Japanese former war prisoners remembered how we treated them and some even came back here to live.
This is a war that was crafted by the media and da corporations that owns it. We have to look long term here. We can't just stick these guys in a cell without due process and a fair trail. If any of these men are found guilty of acts of terror, give them da death penalty. But if they aren't and that's what the Government is afraid of, turn'em loose.
