@thcobbsIt's worth bringing up because our president is an insane and dangerous criminal. You might recall that the use-of-force resolution was to get inspectors back into Iraq.Did the U.N. ASK to get their inspectors back in?Did they go in?Of course not, because there were no WMDs!The whole thing was a lie and a criminal act from the beginning.
@PhearseIf you are wondering why Saudis who have no connection to Iraq did 9/11...Why Israelis danced about it...And why Bush doesn't care where Osama is.......just read that sentence about a "new Pearl Harbor" as part of the task list, not just idle speculation.
"Liberals?"I'm only a "liberal" in that I want more liberty. Do you see ANYONE on Digg arguing for, say, expanded government? Hell I can't find any Republicans anymore that think the war is still a good idea, and I go to Republican fund raising events.
@ cobbsSo, you're saying it's okay to question someone about their sex life in a court of law in the first place? I'd like to see how you reacted to such a situation...

"Still don't believe that? Ask Daniel Pearl."President (Musharraf) dubs alleged Pearl killer MI6 spy:<a class="user" href="http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=110171&version=1&template_id=41&parent_id=23">http://www.gulf-times.com/site/topics/article.asp?cu_no=2&item_no=110171&version=1&template_id=41&parent_id=23</a>Journalist Pearl Was Also An Israeli Citizen Says Israeli Media:<a class="user" href="http://www.rense.com/general20/iscit.htm">http://www.rense.com/general20/iscit.htm</a>"The Terrorists said clearly from day one that Mr. Pearl was a Mossad agent. Our 'news' media did not report it, the Arab news media, did."The situation is always more complex than the emotional pleas of the mainstream media would have you believe. In this case, even more so.
