First off, Happy Father's Day to all of you out there.
The Pentagon is now considering a course of action that will have them end a practice of asking mental health questions before granting security clearances. Pardon me, but isn't sanity a prerequisite to handling secrets?
This may be in response to news that one in four of our troops now have mental health issues (audio), primarily due to Bush having them occupy Iraqi cities and kicking in the doors of families and occassionally accidentally shooting children. Just a guess on my part. The problem occurs in up to 49% of our National Guard.
The "creationist museum" founder is now being sued by his co-fanatics and has issues with an actor in one of his biblical skits as well.
Turns out we are using the same torture techniques we condemned the Soviets of using in the 1950s (audio). And all kinds of bad news about secret torture prisons in Europe, which the CIA denies of course.
And then there is the issue of ghost detainees, a euphemism for people we've captured, kidnapped, or arrested and hide away from the rest of the world.
But hey, trouble is on the horizon for Bush. He may have cowed Reid and Pelosi into giving in to his war funding, but this may be the last gasp of his "political capital" he scared out of the pansy NASCAR voting public in 2004.
Judges have recently ordered the domestic spying documented be opened to the public.
Another judge ruled that you just can't keep Americans indefinitely detained just because you think he's a terrorist.
If we're lucky, we just might get the concept of rule of law back before the 2020s.
The State Department can't keep enough staff thanks to Bush's girlfriend Condi. Apparently she's a real morale killer.
Bush's moves have been to promised to veto a homeland security bill that would pay our DHS personnel a living wage and hire more Border Patrol officers. Not real security conscious.
Suddenly, the boy is veto happy.
And maybe it is the news that a photo op with Bush now only costs five thousand dollars, down from $25,000. Hell, I'd pay him $20 just to walk away from me.
Or maybe it is the news that New Orleans is now looking to fund its recovery with foreign aid as Bush and his cronies just can't seem to keep their promises.
