Negroponte's nomination needs to be stopped

[genius]

The following site has a lot of information on Death Squad Negroponte. Here are just a couple of paragraphs.

Since President Bush made it known that he intended to nominate John Negroponte, other people have suddenly been "disappearing", so to speak. In an article published in the Los Angeles Times on March 25 Maggie Farley and Norman Kempster reported on the sudden deportation of several former Honduran death squad members from the United States. These men could have provided shattering testimony against Negroponte in the forthcoming Senate hearings. One of these recent deportees just happens to be General Luis Alonso Discua, founder of Battalion 3-16. In February, Washington revoked the visa of Discua who was Deputy Ambassador to the UN. Since then, Discua has gone public with details of US support of Battalion 3-16.

Given the history of John Negroponte in Central America, it is indeed horrifying to think that he should be chosen to represent our country at the United Nations, an organization founded to ensure that the human rights of all people receive the highest respect. How many of our Senators, I wonder, let alone the US public, know who John Negroponte really is?

2. We've got holds and a filibuster. Some Democrat's got to be smart.

3. We couldn't even get 41 opposed to Gonzales

We have too many pro-torture Democrats.

10. We have to save our ammo for judicial nominees.

Sorry but if it isnt negroponte it will just be another Bush hack. Negroponte is just an operative, its not him making the decisions.

Judges are what matter. That is where the difference between individuals can be key.

11. Those attending your funeral can find solace in saving ammo.

The death squads were particularly nasty in Central America. One bit of info, if the filibuster isn't used against torturers, death squad leaders and terrorist, it probably won't be used against questionable justices.

robbing of the treasury. the surrender of our civil liberties, another illegal war, more liberties taken, stripping of the social safety net, more robbing of the treasury, another stolen election, corporate owned media, unchecked running amok legislation and judiciary...Torture Gonzalez, blatent lying Treason Rice, and you think this criminal is going to be stopped?

8. You pretty much summed it up in a nut shell

But we must continue to scream, to stick the accusing finger in the face of those who say they represent us.

6. The rest of the planet understands what kind of people, and I am using

that term charitably and loosely, make up the bush* administration. Negroponte will fit right in with the other criminals.

Note to the republican party: You are officially a disgrace to this country, to your party, and to decency and morality in general.

edit: spelling
