"They have just delivered a “new” report In which they are “re-defining” Anti-Semitism to include just about anything one may say to criticize Israel. Such as Anti-Zionism; Holocaust denial and Holocaust related abuse; conspiracy theories; dual loyalty and the blood libel. More importantly, they take this one step further and are now including“Zionism” in this definition."

Liberty and Safety


"President Bush argued frequently and forcefully that his first job was to keep us safe. He was wrong. The Constitution tells us that his sole job was to enforce the Constitution; and that means keeping us free. Free from tyrants who sought and claimed power from thin air; free from prince-like federal agents who could behave without constitutional or legal restraint; free to live with a government that obeyed its own laws. Any president who keeps us safe but unfree is rejecting his oath to the American people."

This is rich... 'We' can torture prisoners, but 'They' can't take their pictures... that's against the 'Law'... please. If this man is tortured, we have no moral 'high ground' from which to criticize it, let alone be apalled by it. By photographing this man, they are letting the world know they have him. We keep our prisoners in secret, incommunicado, even our own citizens! Incredible.
