Watch this Bill/Amendment next week and write your congressperson, we'll need to see him defeated for our own security! McCain clearly showing his stripe, and it's yellow! Wouldn't surprise me to see sKerry's name as a co-signer...
Apparently, McCain wants us to bend over and face Mecca sooner than most of us had hoped:

McCain has lost it. He's become feeble minded.
This is insane to even contemplate giving terrorists Geneva Convention protection.
By what convoluted stretch of the imagination do the Taliban or terrorists either one fit the description of soldiers as defined by the Conventions?

I just can not believe we are doing this. Some people have lost their cotton picking minds.

McCain's not feeble minded. Scheming, crooked and duplicitous yes. Plainly he's turned his back on the GOP nomination. He's positioning himself to run as an independent or to the rescue of the Dems if their roster self-emolates. I hope he takes that Graham kid with him.

I was reminded yesterday of John's early days in Az. The state party was split between the Birchers and Libertarians in those days. Neither block had any use for an unknown carpet-bagger. His sole support was from Duke Tully. No small thing, Tully published the states biggest daily and McCain was rammed down the throats of the electorate winning the nomination to replace John Rhodes. Later Duke would shepard him into replacing old Barry in the Senate. Duke presented himself as a fullbird AF colonel and fighter ace of Korea so his endorsement of the old POW had a certain sense to it. The two appeared the best of friends, had adjoining vacation condos in La Jolla, they often appeared together with Tully in full dress uniform and this charade went on for 8 years until it was revealed that Tully was a complete fraud. Ace hell! He'd never been in the military. The question that lingered was how McCain didn't know. Another interpretation is that he did know and blackmailed Tully for his support.

As Charlie Keating said of John, "I didn't get what I paid for."

Powell jumps on McCain bandwagon…see letter released by McCain

Powell is concerned about the moral basis in the fight against terrorism.

As if.. Powell has moral standing after the plame fiasco

Squidly,

I'd bet less than 1% of McPain's followers know that little tidbit...goes far in explaining how he and Kerry got together...birds of a feather that is. Both spent time with military poseurs (and I don't believe for a minute the pair didn't know their fake soldier friends were frauds, laughing at their voters all the way to the senate!):

Deuce,

The John's have more in common. The were both on the 'Serial Marriage to Wealth Program'. He dumped his POW widow to marry the daughter of Budweiser's biggest distributor west of the Mississippi. That money pot and the Az Republic in his pocket got him to the senate.

I am beginning to wonder if the new way to deal with the "Terrorists" is by playing the same dirty tricks, IED's, remote detonated bombs. I haven't heard much outrage from our Congressmen or Senators about the Terrorists' way of war. I figure if they(terrorists) can do it and it is not against the UN, Dems, definition of torture, why not?!!! I am just becoming so disgusted with our so called Leaders, who are willing to bend to the definitions of what is Right and Wrong. I am also so very much afraid for our Military who are paying the price for these FOOLS!

Wonhyo,

Or in the Case of McCain and the Senate, for a change, just go with the House Version of the Detainee Bill...see it here:

http://www.majorityleader.gov/News/DocumentSingle.aspx?DocumentID=49895

This is the week to let our Senators know the obvious....McCain's bill is tantamount to surrender...or as Maj. Ldr of the House, Rep Boehner said about our Supremes original ruling that created this 'opportunity' for the Liberals:

for that he comes back as a 'war hero' ???

poor guy if he calls THAT torture!

(anyone got his book handy ? i never wasted any money on it....
is that what he listed as torture? lol!)

McPain, I can't stand the phony but I gotta give him some credit for his Hanoi Hilton stay. As a result of his torture, he can't raise at least one of his arms above his head. When the g**ks found out he was the son of an Admiral they were going to let him go. He declined.

Then again, that's what he wrote in his book.
