I heard on the radio that there were going to be two hearings on this same subject today. Anyone know what the other one is? And when?

CREEPY story relevant to this: White House Proposal Would Expand Authority of Military Courts

1. you probably heard it from Rachel like I did?

She said that both were Senate hearings.

The Washington Journal host read the article from a newspaper today, and had a question for callers on it. I haven't watched yet but have it tivo'd.

Meanwhile, the pundits expound on Mel Gibson, fiddling while our liberties get trashed. :nopity:

2. Yes, from Rachel.

That story about the proposed expansion of the rules to american citizens was truly frightening. I have a few links in my post here: http://toughenough.org/2006/08/conspiracy-corner.html

On Mel Gibson - I agree. I've been loving the story as he's exposed himself so publicly that he's going to have a hard time shaking the antisemitic label. Good.

Stephen Colbert has been having a blast this week with both Lieberman and Gibson.
