Republicans Want Terror Law Made Permanent
By ERIC LICHTBLAU - NYTIMES
WASHINGTON, April 8 — Working with the Bush administration, Congressional
Republicans are maneuvering to make permanent the sweeping antiterrorism
powers granted to federal law enforcement agents after the attacks of Sept.
11, 2001, officials said today...
...The landmark legislation expanded the government's power to use
eavesdropping, surveillance, access to financial and computer records and
other tools to track terrorist suspects.

Add-ons Stall Terror Bill

Hatch wants to eliminate the law's Dec. 31, 2005, expiration date, a move
that some civil liberties groups contend would embolden the Justice
Department in its use of the sweeping anti-terror law |

Today's cartoon was inspired by the continuing republican attacks on our
civil liberties. Just think, the next time you fly out of the United States,
the federal agent at the airport can look up your financial records and also
your medical records for any reason. Gee, I hope that check I bounced
3 years ago and the fact that my Arab doctor wears a turban won't raise any red
flags.

US MILITARY
KILLS
SADDAM AGAIN!
THE LATE IRAQI DICTATOR SADDAM HUSSEIN (HOLDING
SWORD) HAS BEEN SLAIN FOUR TIMES SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE WAR
Political Satire by David Podvin
REUTERS The United States military announced on Tuesday that
precision-launched “smart bombs” have once again killed Iraqi President
Saddam Hussein, this time while he was dining in a kosher delicatessen on
Baghdad’s fashionable Upper East Side.
Hussein was originally slain on the opening night of the war when, acting as
a result of impeccable intelligence data, the Air Force launched a surprise
attack on a downtown biker bar where the dictator was meeting with two of
his sons, Marvin and Jeb. He was subsequently re-killed when a
bunker-busting bomb leveled his time-share condo on the southern outskirts
of Basra. The Iraqi strongman also perished when he drowned in the Tigris
River because Special Operations forces had deceived him into believing that
it was alright to go swimming without waiting at least thirty minutes after
eating snacks.
“We had warned Saddam that, unless he surrendered unconditionally, we were
going to kill him again,” a triumphant General Tommy Franks declared. “And I
cannot emphasize strongly enough that we will continue to kill him until
either he stays dead or we just get frustrated and give up.”

Lisa - I got this from a friend - if you haven't seen it I thought you would
appreciate it!
The Whos down in Whoville liked this country a lot,
But the Grinch in the White House most certainly did not.
He didn't arrive there by the will of the Whos,
But stole the election that he really did lose.
