Sensenbrenner says that the new rules give detainees 36 new rights...

[Ian David]

and more automatic appeals than even US Citizens are allowed.

Why don't Democrats just say they're against the bill because Republickers want to coddle the terrorists?

[liberal N proud]

1. What are they - 36 new ways to die?

[truebrit71]

2. SenselessBrenner is batshit crazy...

..and an idiot...

[Ian David]

3. Well, yes... but why not use his words against him in Rovian fashion...

and accuse the Republickers of creating a bill that wants to give terrorists more rights than Americans get?

We could accuse them of coddling the terrorists and being weak on terror.

Democrats play too nicely with others.

[Ian David]

7. He can count only as high as he has chins. n/t

8. For one simple reason

We've been all about protecting their rights. It'd be a political softball pitched to Republicans if we then reverse course and cut them down for giving them too many rights.

[chieftain]

9. The man is an ass.

[Auntie Bush]

10. What use are those 36 additional rights if you can't defend your

self adequately? You're going to die anyway or spend the rest of your life being treated cruelly in one of those detention centers. But, lucky them, they get to play soccer and read the Koran so everything is AOK.
