No longer Any Doubt about the Bush Administration

Physicians for Human Rights who examined 11 former detainees from Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and at Guantanamo Bay say they "uncovered medical evidence of torture, including beatings, electric shock, sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation, sodomy and scores of other abuses."The detainees were never charged with crimes.

"We found clear physical and psychological evidence of torture and abuse, often causing lasting suffering," said Dr. Allen Keller, a medical evaluator for the study.
The report is prefaced by retired
U.S. Major Gen. Antonio Taguba, who led the Army's investigation into the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in 2003.
"There is no longer any doubt that the current administration committed war crimes," Taguba says. "The only question is whether those who ordered torture will be held to account."

Go away Bush...Just go away.....

In a stinging rebuke to President Bush's anti-terror policies, a deeply divided Supreme Court ruled Thursday that foreign detainees held for years at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba have the right to appeal to U.S. civilian courts to challenge their indefinite imprisonment without charges.

This really disgusts me to no end. The very IDEA that we have a president who has to be FORCED by the supreme court to allow individuals imprisoned by America to have rights under law!! I mean what the F&%^$ is the matter with this fool?

Sorry dumb-ass, even though you hand-picked half the supreme court, even they were not willing to go along with this completely UN-AMERICAN idiocy.

170 more days.......get the champagne on ice for the day this scumbag is out of all of our lives.

Happy to be in 96th place

I ran my first race ever on Sunday, 10k River City Run in downtown Sac. Really nice run along the river.

Goal#2 -Finish (check)
Goal#3 -Get a decent time (check!)

Finished with 9:10 pace, which for me is excellent. I have barely trained and have been taking it really easy, with zero emphasis on pace. So it's nice to see I could perform well above where I've been training.

Now begins the "real" training....Cowtown half in October and the holy grail, the full marathon in nov. (Run the River Marathon Nov 15th).
