| Former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno : "Bush Is Mean". |
| 2003-03-17 |
| In the war against terrorism, the Bush administration has failed to balance the scales of liberty and security, former U.S. Attorney General Janet Reno told a packed audience Monday night at Brown University. After watching President Bush's address, Reno said, ''We will not solve the world's problems by might.'' Neither will it solve the problems of intransigent religious fanatics in Waco Texas, but hey, dont let that stop you. ''I had hoped people would come up with an opportunity for him to save face,'' she said. Ouch, talk about your 'pot calling kettle black' situation. Bush on Monday night said the United States would lead a war against Iraq unless Saddam Hussein in the next 48 hours went into exile. Reno also criticized the White House's policy toward enemy combatants. ''Two ok, thats two. what about the other 400 guys Janet? ''What has happened to the Bill of Rights? What has happened to due process? What has happened to the Geneva Convention? If they're not prisoners of war, what are they? And what rights do they have?'' she asked. I dunno Janet, maybe that kid Elian took the "bill of rights" with him when you sent him back to the hell hole prison island that is Cuba. Reno, whose father immigrated to the United States from Denmark, also denounced profiling at the borders. Her "test case" proving her point appears to be Janet herself. "why look at all the damage I did and you'd never catch me at the border with a profile!. Sure we would Janet, ever since we caught KSM, we've expanded the profile to include members of the sasquatch family, of which you appear to be descended. ''We are a nation of immigrants, made great by immigrants,'' she said. Wow, I need to write that one down. Thats almost a complete thought. Reno was the first female attorney general. She made an unsuccessful bid last year for governor of Florida, losing to the president's brother, Republican Gov. Jeb Bush. After losing to yet another lame Democrat for the nomination. |
