Details on the horrible Arlen Specter are all here, link via Schultz. He is the most liberal of Democrats, not a Republican in any shape or form, and we can all forget Bush nominees if he heads the judiciary committee. He has to be stopped. Read the link. Why Bush backed him is a mystery.

Here's how the French handle prisoners released from Gitmo.

In France, however, the four prisoners who were sent back in July haven't been heard from since. They were whisked off by French security forces, who say that they could be held for up to three years without charge.

This from a blogger in Europe called Eurosoc. Read the whole link. France has no ACLU pissing and moaning about criminals. Suspected terrorists are shot down in the streets or just disappear. Many are held without trial seemingly forever, all with the support of the French citizen. Maybe this is what Kerry had in mind when he said terrorism should be a police matter

....judges like Bruguiere can order the arrest of anyone on the vague charge of "conspiracy in relation to terrorism." Over 500 people have been held on this charge alone, which allows investigators to hold suspects while enquiries are carried out. It has even led to suspects who have evaded justice in other countries being flown to and dumped in France for detention and interrogation.

This stuff would never fly here. Thanx ACLU.
