Leave it to the Rethuglicans

Blogger is slower than molasses today, so I'm posting by e-mail.  We'll see how that works.

We'll leave it to the Reyhuglicans to take a terrible bill -- the McCain/Graham/Warner "torture them to hell and then try them in a kangaroo court" bill -- and make it worse.  Now the Thuglicans are amending the bill to broaden the definition of "enemy combattant" to include those who have "materially supported" hostile acts against the U.S.  "Materially supported" is one of those slippery concepts that the Prez could interpret to mean almosts anything, up to and including participation in an anti-war rally. 

I sure hope the text and not the title of the article cited in my previous post is correct.
