| Not a big fan of the Democrats, but I do hope they impeach the president for treason, and have a whole mess of Bush's administration thrown in prison for what theyve done to America. Prolly not gonna happen, but it's what should be done. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| I definitely disagree with you on this..I was only a baby during Reagan's time, but I would assume Reagan was getting the same talk that Bush is getting now. I could be wrong...but am I? | |

| Bush lied, people died, and now if your against him your a terrorist... Patriot Act, Katrina, War in Iraq, No desire to catch Bin Laden or finnish things in Afghanistan. Unethical practices, and un-constitutional actions by this administration need to be stopped, and they need to pay for their actions. Impeachment, Prison, and Justice is done. | |||||||||||||||||||||

American filmmaker Cyrus Kar from Los Angeles was detained for two months in Iraq without being charged in May 2005 after he visited Iraq to make a documentary film about Cyrus the Great, the Persian king. On 7 July 2006, he sued Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld and other military officials, calling the government's detention policies unconstitutional. He also claimed that he was hooded, threatened, taunted and insulted by U.S. soldiers. He was alleged to have been smuggling washing machine timers for use in improvised explosive devices in a taxi he was riding in to Baghdad. He was released on 10 July 2005 after his family sued the federal government for violating his civil rights and holding him even after the FBI cleared him of suspicion. The lawsuit said his detention violated his civil rights, Geneva Conventions, as well as International law. "Human rights monitors note that the vast majority of the over 15,000 detainees in U.S. military custody in Iraq have never been charged, tried, provided counsel, or allowed to challenge their detention in court, and over one-fifth of them have been detained for over a year in this manner," the suit states. Several New York teenagers brought a lawsuit against Rumsfeld in federal court over a Pentagon database of potential military recruits. The Pentagon defended the database as critical to national security, but the plaintiffs argue that the database retains information on people as young as 16 in violation of federal privacy laws. New York Civil Liberties Union director Donna Lieberman said, "On the one hand Congress has afforded broad latitude to collect information but on the other hand the Department of Defense has completely flouted those limits. He is no patriot, he is a criminal and perpetrator of the shredding of this constitution for a cause that dosnt exist. | |||||||||||||||||||||

Bush lied, people died? You would be right if we had experienced another terrorist attack here in America. Do you remember all the other terrorist attacks in other countries soon after 9/11?? Muslim extremists. That's who we are fighting. I just can't believe how much I disagree with you in your post. No one really knows what the Patriot Act does. It actually removes a wall that allows a warrant to arrest, to stop the action from happening. Without that wall, they have to go to court and try to get a warrant, which it would be too late. The Brooklyn Bridge was thankfully saved because of the Patriot Act. They intercepted a conversation that constantly brought up the words "Brooklyn Bridge" They were able to storm the bridge with cops, and arrest the Muslim extremist planning to blow it up. Without the Patriot Act, they would need a warrant to storm the bridge, and the courts might not give it to them, or it would be too late. When they went in his apartment, he had tons of explosives, manuals on how to make bombs, pictures of the Brooklyn Bridge, etc..I bet you don't know about this thanks to the media. Many other plotted terrorist attacks after 9/11 were prevented thanks to the Bush Administration. He should not be impeached, or imprisoned. He is doing a great job in fighting terrorism. Maybe not the right strategy in Iraq (as we have lost so many) but it's better to fight the extremists there than over here. Now if your wish came true, Cheney would become President. Do you want that?? haha | ||

| The liberals thought Reagan was going to get us all killed. When he told Gorbachev to "tear down this wall", the left said he was nuts and going to get us all killed. I was there and heard it all. The left lambasted him as bad or wrose than Bush. | |||||||||||||||||||||

| Thanks for the history lesson. So this just goes on and proves my point. Bush is getting crap much like Reagan was getting crap back in the day. Reagan is not looked upon as a hero for his decisions, hell Bush might be looked upon as a hero in the future... | |
