Morris Davis sounds like someone who would GLADLY testify before Congress; and would be prepared to answer Lindsey Graham’s question…..

So the Pentagon ordered Col. Morris not to testify to the Senate Judiciary Committee this morning, but it’s okay for him to write an op-ed in today’s LA Times and do an interview with CBC Radio One’s The Current that aired this morning?

You said – “Good. Our men and women who serve on the frontlines of the War on Terror do not need a second front.”

I’ll fix it for you. It should say “Good. Our men and women who serve on the front lines of the War on Terror should not have to worry about the rule of law. Just like Scooter Libby, what’s most important is Party over country.”

Your welcome.

You said – “Right after we’re secure and alive. Then we can start thinking about things like moral higher ground.”

Good things our founders didn’t see it this way. They declared they would not be like the other guys anymore. They were going to do it right. They would sacrifice their own security in order to live in a free society.

“Give me liberty or give me death.” This statement means he’d rather die a free man, in a society where people’s human rights are recognized, then live safe and sound in a country where they abuse the rule of law in the name of that security.

You are no patriot. You haven’t got the courage.

It’s called Inherent Contempt Francine. Unfortunately our Democratic leaders are too chicken to use it. If they did, they would be arresting Bolton, Meiers and others and putting them into the jail cell in the Senate Office Building and then holding a trial.

I heard Thom Hartmann say, today, that Nanci Pelosi and the others can’t talk about the meeting because they are bound by the secrecy arrangements. Well, I think they have every right to talk about those meetings since the Bush Administration has leaked the information, it is no longer secret and they are no longer bound by secrecy. Unfortunately their silence seems to confirm that they did know and did nothing about it.

Holding the moral high ground is part of being able to hold the high physical ground and being secure and alive. When you begin to understand the reciprocal nature of human nature, perhaps you will begin to understand that circular causality is what defines human interaction dynamics. Until then, you will only see the very limited “us vs. them” perspective and be part of the problem rather than part of the solution.

I’m not “insecure” or “dead”, so what are you even talking about???

I see you’re somewhat insecure, but you’re clearly alive.

Anyone else? Insecure? Dead?

I don’t get it.

Subpoena the no show. Then when he doesn’t show up, arrest him.

HEY DEMS, START EXERCISING THAT POWER WE GAVE YOU!!!

And Frank, you think that’s funny…?

Incontrovertible proof that you, sir, are a complete MORON.

Yeah, but how are you going to enforce that request? *chuckle*

And when are you going to stop *chuckling* about a serious threat to our own military personnel, chucklehead? And when are you going to insist that YOUR party get on board with insuring that the U.S. be the moral leader in the world?

There is a constitutional remedy for abuse of power by the executive branch. If not now, WHEN?????

Maybe term limits is the place to start. Barring former legislators from profitting from lobbying would also be a good idea. Unfortunately for the average American the game is and has been rigged against us for a long time. No doubt the system is broke but nobody on the Hill is going to do a damned thing about it. Power, money and influence. The new Liberty and Justice for all. The only thing we’re good for in their eyes is a vote and our tax money. Otherwise we could all just go to Hell.

Sorry for the OT, folks. I will say that this whole filthy thing is going no where until a special prosecutor is brought in.
