[...] The ACLU expressed outrage when President Bush signed the Military Commissions Act of 2006 allowing us to harshly interrogate captured terrorists. Now that the doors of Congress have been opened up to the ACLU&#8217;s buddies in CAIR, the ACLU have more reason to cheer. Sen. Patrick Leahy is drafting a bill to undo portions of the new law in an effort to create habeas corpus rights for enemy combatants. [...]

That’s why ultra-liberal organizations like the Cato Institute have been decrying the Detainee Act.

Sen. Patrick Leahy,

tonight we&apos;re going to party like it&apos;s 1999, cont. (or, &#34;I think I&apos;m starting to figure out this &#34;new direction&#34; for fighting terrorism that the Democratic base has been so eager to deploy…&#34;)

Of course, had they just called it &#34;surrender&#34; to begin with, that might have taken some of the, you know &#45;&#45; thrill out of it.

Embrace Otherness, people!&nbsp; It&apos;s the new black!

Repeat after me….

Terrorism is an act of war, not a criminal act.

A lesson we’re aware of, but the democrats don’t seem to realize. And the tendency to want to treat it as a criminal act led directly to 9/11.
