#3 I wish Bush would lay the facts out and ridicule these morons. The sane segment of the public would get it, just as they overwhelmingly support him on the surveillance and finance programs. The house voted big in favor of the bill. Put the spotlight on these Senate fiddledicks. You almost got your back up yesterday, Dubya... Go for it, get nasty, damnit, and show the public just who's on their side - and who's on the side of the asshats.

#4 Warner and McCain joined fellow Republicans Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and Susan Collins of Maine in voting for the committee version.

You may contact various members of Congress, one at a time, - thru

I'll be doing that next.

#5 This is one of the messages:

Senator: Terrorists are not recognized under the Geneva Convention. We should not be affording them the rights of our citizens.

Our judicial system was founded on a premise that it is better for 999 criminals to go free rather than one innocent person be incarcerated. I would prefer we jail 999 potentially innocent terrorists so that one guilty terrorist does not go free. I am not at all concerned about any 'steep and slippery slope' that will ultimately take away some of my freedoms, either. This is war, Senator. President Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. We got it back.

I do not want the prople charged with protecting us to be fettered by political correctness. I hope you will ultimately support the President's position, since to do otherwise is to demonstrate to our enemies that bin Laden's fatwah was correct.

#6 From this issue, to Bolton, to Immigration, the list goes on and on. It's very clear that most of our problems in Washington are not caused by the Dems, but by Republicans in name only.

The Dems are a known enemy, and we can deal with their ravings. We anticipate their opposition to everything, primarily because they refuse to see past their BDS and look to the good of the country. The enemy within is far more insidious. What good is a 'Republican' majority if 7 to 10 of them are wolves in sheeps clothing?

#8 Bravo, MG1. I asked this question more that a year ago. McCain loves the TV cameras. This is why I say that he is just Clintoon without the intern. Graham is looking for a position in a future McCain administration. Warner is senile. Collins is representing her constituency.

Graham is up for re-election in '08. I will campaign against him if he runs. Chafee again demonstrates that a majority not founded on principle is worthless.

#10 McCain has stars in his eyes, but I don't think he has a snowballs' chance of becoming President. i think that the President should call over the "leadership" and suggest very strongly that they give this bill some more consideration.

#12 Hey, if these senators don't want to set up tribunals, I'm happy just interning these folks forever.
