US must stop 'outsourcing' torture

By -
By US Representative Edward J. Markey, Democrat of Massachusetts Note: MR Markley introduced Bill HR 952 to eliminate the practice of ''outsourcing torture" on Feb. 17. Right now the bill has fifty-two co-sponsors. No Republicans have signed onto it so far and Dennis Hastert says he's opposed to it. ---- AN UNMARKED PLANE arrives in the middle of the night carrying men who aren't wearing uniforms but have on black hoods.

Under Hastings' proposal, the Republicans are asking the Democrats to trade their principles for a shady promise of action on DeLay. Here is a quick analysis of what would happen if Dems ac...

Secret Service visits art show at Columbia

By -
Axis of Evil = Bush+Secret Service It seems that the Bush Gestapo are trying to intimidate artists and museums: (What else is new?) Organizers of a politically charged art exhibit at Columbia College's Glass Curtain Gallery thought their show might draw controversy. But they didn't expect two U.S. Secret Service agents would be among the show's first visitors. The agents turned up Thursday evening, just before the public opening of "Axis of Evil, the Secret History of Sin," and took pictures of some of the art pieces -- including "Patriot Act," showing President Bush on a mock 37-cent stamp with a revolver pointed at his head.
