For those who may not have been following what's going on outside Fairfield:
Both houses of the Congress of the United States just passed a bill that revokes the writ of habeas corpus and legalizes torture. Innocent American citizens may now be detained and tortured indefinitely, even executed, without ever being able to challenge their detention in court. The speaker of the House has accused Democrats who voted against the bill to revoke habeas corpus and legalize torture of "coddling" terrorists. In Iraq (the country to which we are bringing freedom and democracy), the government has passed and is enforcing a set of laws that make Iraqi journalists who criticize the government liable for imprisonment (some of the provisions were lifted verbatim from Saddam's penal code). Bob Woodward, Washington Post journalist of Watergate fame and previously a Bush stenographer, has a new book out alleging that the violence in Iraq is much worse than we have been told by the administration: There are 100 attacks against U.S. forces *per day*, about one every 15 minutes.
