Bush appointee insists Muslim Congressman swear on Bible since Quran is like Mein Kampf
Right-wing talk show host Dennis Prager has raised a firestorm charging that Rep.-elect Keith Ellison (D-MN), the first Muslim elected to Congress, must swear in using a Bible. He said that if Ellison swears in with a Quran, it would “undermin[e] American civilization” and be akin to swearing in with a copy of Hitler’s “Mein Kampf.”
Prager is not a typical talk radio host. In September, he was appointed by President Bush to a five-year term on the taxpayer-funded United States Holocaust Memorial Council. A statement announcing Prager’s appointment praised his ” unique moral voice.”
Yesterday, the Council on American Islamic Relations called on Prager to be removed from this position:

911 ‘No-Planes’ Conspirators Seek To Sabotage Truth
Think about it. While the real investigators take the evidence and link them to men in the Defense Department and in Israel — the no-planers remain stuck on the assertion that all the 45 video recordings were faked and that all the witnesses who saw the planes are liars and the just make the vaguest totally detached references to “the perps” or just “perps”.

Dictatorship : We surrender if we permit torture
The Military Commissions Act overturns a number of legal protections previously provided by the Constitution, not just to foreigners but also to average American citizens. Unfortunately the Act also enables torture. It cancels rights assigned by the Geneva Conventions and protocols despite their protection of our own troops.

Dems warn Bush on Iraq funding / New majority in Congress will seek to influence policy on conduct of war
House Democrats sent a strong signal to President Bush on Tuesday that they will attach conditions he is likely to find unpalatable, perhaps even unacceptable, to his anticipated request early next year for another $100 billion or more to pay for the war in Iraq.
ONE HUNDRED BILLION?
Why?
Why are we even in Iraq?
There were no WMDs.
Saddam was not aiding Al Qaeda.
Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11.
So what are we being asked to fork over another $100 billion for?
