Keith Olbermann is in fine form here raising excellent points yet again. It’s easy for a politician like President GW Bush to speak of sacrifice when others need pay it. While I support our troops, I was never a supporter of this war. I never bought into the “WMD”, or 9/11 connection either. This “New And Improved Plan” sounds like more of the same horrible planning on the part of the administration. This “Surge” sounds to me to be exactly what Keith Olbermann says it is, just a political ploy to say Iraq wasn’t lost on his watch.

On a semi related note: I refuse to watch Saddam Hussein’s “Snuff” film. No, I’m not at all a Saddam Hussein fan, I just think videotaping anyone’s execution is barbaric and should not have been shown on television for children to see. It should not have been put on the Internet for juvenile and sadistic minds to enjoy either. To make matters horribly worse: Three Children in different countries hung themselves after viewing Saddam Hussein’s execution. Way to Go “News” Media…

The FCC goes Ape about Janet Jackson’s exposed boob, complain about graphic violence and yet take no action about a Snuff film. I guess this Administration considers video taping the execution a part of Republican family values.

Music I’m listening to right Now:
“Big Bang Baby” by Stone Temple Pilots from the “Tiny Music…Songs From The Vatican Gift Shop ” Album.

As other people have pointed out “The Military Commissions Act” passed by Congress is dangerous as it has no clear definition of what defines an “Enemy combatant”. Keith Olbermann does a fine job of explaining why this is such a badly written law and points out that it is whittling away at the Bill of Rights. He also does a great job of once again demonstrating what a complete hypocrite President George W. Bush is. This is such a “hot” issue, that he can’t schedule a time to sign it? Riiiiight… BTW, while Keith Olbermann is being sarcastic (loved the “Why Does Habeas Corpus Hate America?“), people should realize this: If something can be abused it will be. The founding fathers of the United States did NOT trust Government, which is why the codified the bill of rights. Even if the current president doesn’t abuse this (Wow, What Are the Odds?), it doesn’t mean others won’t. This is not a “partisan” issue, it’s potentially a Constitutional one.It used to be that you could depend on the Supreme Court to strike down laws like this one since it smacks in the face of the Constitution (i.e. Attempted murder of Habeas Corpus) but with this line up, who knows?
Music I’m listening to right Now:
“Crazy” by Seal from his “Seal” Album (1991). It seemed appropriate.
