Bush in for some rude awakenings on security matters beyond Arar, says Leahy
BETH GORHAM

1. Yes! Chuck the passport crap!

9. Yes, and they are now saying shampoo plot a hoax

notice how there were no convictions on that one, same with the "Miami 7", I just hope
the truth comes out so that all those GOP ladies who had their $100 perfume thrown into

conviction of anyone at GITMO, a lot of innocent people released with no charges.

Beautiful
