Call your Senator and demand a filibuster of Mr. Death Squad.

[Padme Amidala]

From the front page of patrickhenrythinktank.org

"Those responsible for death squads that slaughter nuns and children deserve prosecution, not rewards.
"Tell your Senator to filibuster John "Death Squad" Negroponte, nominee for Director of National Intelligence."

1. They didn't filibuster before,

they will certainly not filibuster on this one.

Prediction: he will be unanimously confirmed.

2. Your crystal ball is faulty . . . .

The magic 8 ball says no to unanimous confirmation. . .

[qwghlmian]

3. We will see...

Chertoff got confirmed unanimously. You woulda thought that some D Senator would have voted No....

7. Start writing your senator. . .I am EOM

[DavidDvorkin]

4. Yeah, right. My senator. Ken Salazar.

I'm going to save my breath.

5. Not gonna happen. Already contacted the Florida

boys and both are Voting YES. Nelson said he admired Negroponte and Martinez said you can't find a better choice!! I don't think there's any doubt he'll be confirmed, is there?

6. I guess he likes dead nuns and children.

Anyone who votes for death squads should be sentenced to life.

8. Jon Kyl? Much as I despise Negroponte (I remember the '80s!)

it's a completely useless endeavor.

9. Yet some still doubt that we have a fascist dictatorship

I wrote to my Senators, but really don't have my hopes up. I do know that now we have someone who supports torture heading the Department of Justice, someone who hates due process at Homeland Security, and now a supporter of death squads as National Intelligence Director. The disappearances will only accelerate. We live in a dictatorship now, and no one is safe.

10. Please everyone, let's do this. We owe it to the victims

in Honduras and Nicaragua.

[genius]

11. Absolutely.

The best way to honor those people is to stop him from doing the same here.
