Oh, don’t you know that Charlie Rangel really isn’t for conscription – he’s just pulling a fast

one on the Republicans. Don’t you know anything about how the game is played?!

Aw, c’mon, Democrats don’t really believe in the Things on Drugs – they just repeat the slogans

and increase the funding because they can’t repeal it anyway. Be practical!

Sure, they vote for every war that comes down the pike and do nothing to stop them once underway, but

they’re really doves at heart. That’s just politics!

Emi MacLean from the Center for Constitutional Rights discusses Friday’s New York Times story about

Robert Gates’s attempt to have the Guantánamo prison closed and how he was thwarted by the attorney

general and vice president, how at least two people theyre held there for two years after being

determined to simply be refugees rather than terrorists, and her belief that many of the people there

are innocent.
