Don't know what that means or where it will go but it is a start. Don Meixner |

22 May 03 - 10:14 AM (#957639) Subject: RE: BS: Ashcroft to face Congress over the Patri From: GUEST It'll be a whitewash, most likely. A dose of placation. Congress was in the headlights when it raised the issue of 'sunset clauses' on the Patriot Act. They were going to let some sections of the Act renew instead of die as outlawed in the clauses. But too many people were watching, so they voted like they promised they would on that one. And that's what Congress and Ashcroft will most likely feed the cameras. "The egregious portions of the Act were just sunsetted out of existence." Which will be Bushit. You're STILL a domestic terrorist if you march in a protest or break a law. Section 802 of the USA Patriot Act. Look it up. |

23 May 03 - 11:23 PM (#958533) Subject: RE: BS: Ashcroft to face Congress over the Patri From: DonMeixner Doug, NPR was delivering a news item here, not stating an opinion. It carried no more bias than if they were reporting a plane crash. The news fact is Ashcroft has been called to answer questions. The opinion that Ashcroft is Evil-incarnate and the Anti-Christ is from me. Don |

Joined the ranks of gov't yea-sayers, supporters and fellow travellers a long time ago...just dresses it up differently. Oh for the far off days when NPR was the bastion of alternate opionion, of in depth news from other countries, of the kind of stuff that ISNT carried on Fox and CSNBC. Good old days, indeed. |
