During his confirmation hearings in front of the Senate, Attorney General candidate Michael Mukasy refused to say whether or not he believed 'waterboarding' was torture. It is assumed that he had the opportunity to study whether or not it was, especially since it was an issue brought up in concern about the Bush administration well before Mukasy's hearings.
How long has Mukasy been in office? A couple of months? And today I hear that he has made a statement that waterboarding is legal according to U.S. policy. No matter that it is considered torture according to international law. No matter that it is stated in U.S. policy that our nation does not engage in torture. The U.S. Attorney General is supposed to be politically independent of the executive branch of government, yet against national and international law he has supported the policies of the Bush administration.
The disingenuity of his refusal to state his position in confirmation hearings and then nearly immediate support of the Bush administration is another in the long line of reasons that so many of us believe we do not have a government that is working for the people. The blatant use of deception to many of us is abhorrant. It's so disappointing. It's so un-American.

Hello,
I'm seeking help for the children of Haiti.
I'm doing this for a non-profit haiti group that devotes themselves to
creating oppurtunities for the kids in haiti. If anyone wants to give money then then please do so here:

They give kids in Haiti books and teach them.
Yes, they're a real cause.
It would be great if you could help

Long time lurker, thought I would say hello! I really dont post much but thanks for the good times I have here. Love this place..
When I was hurt in that motorcycle accident my life would be changed totally. Sadly that driver had no car insurance and I was going to be hurting for ever.
This was not time for me to start and guess what to do. I had to find a good personal injury attorney to help me get what I needed. After all, my family was counting on me.
How bad was it? I has bedridden for 5 months, I had to have constant care and my medical bills went through the roof!
Fortunately, I found a good referral site to help me.
I will post more later this week to tell you more about what I have been going through.

I called them first and asked a bunch of questions and everything was answered to my satisfaction so I went ahead and bought it. Dispatch was fast. Everything was perfect. I'm pretty darn happy and I'm playing it right now. Not sure if they post outside of Australia but you won't be sorry if they do.
Music to my ears...
