This torture bill's passage means VICTORY FOR USAMA BIN LADEN.
He said it after the WTC attacks...he'll have to do nothing but sit back and watch America destroy itself from within. The retraction of "The Great Writ," habeus corpus, is indeed the end of America as we know it. It transforms our country from a democracy to a dictatorship, with absolute power granted to one man, with no judicial or congressional oversight.

George Bush is handing Usama Bin Laden his greatest victory, all gift-wrapped in a bow. And our legislators are holding their index fingers on the ribbon so he can tie it up neatly.

1. Well, then again we aren't an islamic theocracy
possibly nearing another kind of theocracy - but we'll see what happens.

2. The Bushco fascists have been working toward this for three
generations. While they are not theocrats themselves (except possilby * himself) they think they are in control of the would-be theocrats, but they don't know the lessons of history - a movement like this cannot be just turned off or controlled. It cannot go much further before it becomes an uncontrolled conflagration that will sear this nation to the bone - a new civil war between theocrats and rationalists. Look to the English Civil War and the interregnum as an example.
