I haven't posted anything about politics in awhile, but I want to call attention to the current travesty making it's way through Congress called the If We Detain You You Have No Rights Whatsover But We Promise Not To Torture You, Honest Military Commissions Act of 2006. Supported by John McCain and John Warner, both of who should know better. Among other things it does away with the writ of habeas corpus - this is a Bad Thing (tm). Please write your congress people and urge them to vote against any version of this bill that does not preserve habeas corpus for prisoners. Apparently Arlen Specter is working on modifying the bill to that effect, so hopefully that effort will succeed if the bill can't be defeated outright.
