"The US had 'come a long way' since the Abu Ghraib scandal."
In a striking display of companssion, the US has said it won't "hand over detainees to the Iraqi authorities until they [the Iraqis] raise levels of care." In related news, Donald Rumsfeld has announced that Lynndie England will be handling the transition of prisoners from US to Iraqi prisons as part of her work-release program.
Alert! For first time ever, man on Death Row claims he is innocent of the crimes he was charged with!
First off, I have to ask why I have a moral obligation to be opposed to the death penalty because it doesn't work as a deterrent of crime? Can't I support the death penalty as punishment for a crime you have been convicted of? Or do I have some obligation to view crime and punishment from a Christian/Buddhist/New Age view point? If I firmly believe in the separation of Church and State, then I should not be basing my viewpoints on Capital Punishment, a role of the State, not the Church, on viewpoints put for by the Church. Removing the religous argument from the equation, as Separation demands that I do, I am just left with my own morals and principles to decide if the death penalty is just, and I really don't have a problem using death as a punishment for death. Who cares if it's a deterrent or not?
By the way, Bianca is aging just as well as Keith Richards.
How do you artificially inflate the value of stock you own?
By securing bid-less government contracts for billions of dollars of tax dollars that never have to be accounted for! And then, blatantly lie about it!

"Since I left Halliburton to become George Bush's vice president, I've
severed all my ties with the company, gotten rid of all my financial interest,"
the Vice President said. "I have no financial interest in Halliburton of
any kind and haven't had, now, for over three years."
