Unconstitutional!

Oh really? That's a big freakin' surprise....
Patriot Act Provisions Voided

A federal judge in Oregon ruled yesterday that two provisions of the USA Patriot Act are unconstitutional, marking the second time in as many weeks that the anti-terrorism law has come under attack in the courts. In a case brought by a Portland man who was wrongly detained as a terrorism suspect in 2004, U.S. District Judge Ann Aiken ruled that the Patriot Act violates the Constitution because it "permits the executive branch of government to conduct surveillance and searches of American citizens without satisfying the probable cause requirements of the Fourth Amendment."

Letting the masses read the truth
Why can't our media tell the truth, too?

Awe well, I'll go ahead and answer my own question. The media is in the war business, too. They are partners with the war machine over at the pentagon and the "group thinks" that froth at the mouth for more war. See: The War Made Easy, by Norman Solomon and narrated by the loathsome left wing loon Sean Penn. It's a wonderful documentary and free for viewing on Google video.

Iraq told to do more for peace

We invade, bomb and destroy. You run like hell, sit back and wait. We occupy. You resist. We prop up a puppet for you. You continue to resist. Our private contractors are not too happy with you regardless if you resist. This is a disaster and we blame you. You're not an island and you have neighbors. We blame them, too. You see, in the end, nothing matters because YOU LOSE AND WE WIN!

Soldiers Describe Baiting of Insurgents

Under a program developed by a Defense Department warfare unit, Army snipers have begun using a new method to kill Iraqis suspected of being insurgents, planting fake weapons and bomb-making material as bait and then killing anyone who picks up them up, according to testimony presented in a military court.

From the AP: U.S. Snipers Allegedly `Baited' Iraqis
Gary Myers, an attorney for Sgt. Evan Vela, said Monday his client had acted ''pursuant to orders.''

''We believe that our client has done nothing more than he was instructed to do by superiors,'' Myers said in a telephone interview.

And of course......

The Army on Monday declined to confirm such a program exists.
