On October 17, 2006, President Bush signed the
Military Commissions Act of 2006
This act, among other things does the following:
- Repeals Habeas Corpus
- Allows indefinite imprisonment
- Authorizes Torture
- Absolves Bush and the CIA of all war crimes
- Repudiates the Geneva Conventions
Please note that the above is specifically authorized inside the United States!
Currently, the targets of all the above are so-called
"enemy combatants". This designation has no definition to
speak of. The current one being so vague that the creator
of this very web site may be considered an enemy combatant.
What used to be "free political speech" is no longer
guaranteed.
I live in New Hampshire, and therefore wanted to know if
the New Hampshire congressional delegation voted for this
abomination or not.
I was appalled to find out that all four in our delegation voted in favor. To be specific, these include:
- Senator John Sununu
- Senator Buddy Gregg
- Congressman Jeb Bradley
- Congressman Charlie Bass
