#1 Dodd and other Democrats say such protections should be afforded to terror suspects because the U.S. would want other nations to apply similar rights to troops captured in war.

No Dumbass you have it wrong (again!). That is why you do not want to give the illegal combatants GC protections. Does AQ or the 'insurgency' (or Iran) give our people GC protections? That would tend to prove that your full of shit.

#2 Why don't they ask Privates First Class Kristian Menchaca and Thomas Tucker their opinions on this subject?
Oh, that's right. They can't, because the PFC's were butchered like animals by people just like those whose rights these assholes wanna protect.
I hope there's a special place in hell waiting for ignorant pricks like Leahy, Specter and Dodd...

#3 "Dodd and other Democrats say such protections should be afforded to terror suspects because the U.S. would want other nations to apply similar rights to troops captured in war."

I think I finally get it: these people actually believe that if only we were more "nice" to the ~~crazy little savages~~ rest of the world, they would be nicer to us in return.

WTF is it with these people? Did they grow up watching too much Sesame Street or something??? If so, they need to listen up: BIG BIRD LIED.

I've come to two conclusions: 1) there is absolutely nothing that will shake these idiots' belief in this fantasy, fairy-tale, "peaceable kingdom" world they so long for, and 2) we have precisely ZERO chance of prevailing against the Islamic menace until these dimwits are shoved out of the way.

I'll leave the logical consequences unsaid...

#4 These lefties just can't resist. We're going to see nothing but two years of investigations of every tidbit these fools have jotted on the back of their hands for the last six years. Nothing will get done. And, nothing will come of their grandstanding and hot air except one very good thing. They will demonstrate that they are incapable of governing. Republicans, get your candidates in order. Give us some good people to vote for, who really support the USA.

#5 OK, so we have a law on the books. If the Donks think it is unconstitutional, then get one of their puppets to sue and get it run up to the SCOTUS. Of course you can expect them to use the 9th district.
Any revisions will need to be attached as riders to a bill that the Prez is absolutley in love with and that is a stretch, thinking the Donks would draft something that yummy for him to veto because then they would have to go on record as supporting something that they very likely campaigned hard against. Like an earlier post: just theater.
