Expansion of military courts. US pushing further into fascism.

As I said once before, a key component of fascism is a de-powerment of the courts. The Bush administration has created a plan to expand the reach of the military government and "allow the secretary of defense to add crimes at will to those under the military court's jurisdiction."

What once was decided by our regular court system would now be in the hands of the military. And keep in mind that most Constitutional rights DO NOT APPLY to military courts. Clearly, this is an another move to destroy the Bill Of Rights and drive America into fascism.

This plan would include "those accused of joining or associating with terrorist groups engaged in anti-U.S. hostilities, and of committing or aiding hostile acts by such groups, whether or not they are part of al-Qaeda." Keep in mind: this administration has already labeled a teacher's union as a terrorist group, and repeatedly refered to ALL dissent as "aiding the terrorists. And without any oversight from another gov't agency, they would be able to arrest us all merely on their say-so. EXACTLY the way the Nazis rounded up the Jews.

It all gets very easy once the Constitutional checks and balances have been removed.

9/11 - The Lies Not Worth Punishing.

The 9/11 investigative panel were told so many extreme and deliberate 'misrepresentations of fact' (which are lies to the rest of us) by the Pentagon that they believed there was an intentional cover-up going on. Sadly, the panel merely handed this information over to other gov't agencies rather than push directly for prosecution.

Read this stunning excerpt from the WaPo story:

John F. Lehman, a Republican commission member and former Navy secretary, said in a recent interview that he believed the panel may have been lied to but that he did not believe the evidence was sufficient to support a criminal referral. "My view of that was that whether it was willful or just the fog of stupid bureaucracy, I don't know," Lehman said. "But in the order of magnitude of things, going after bureaucrats because they misled the commission didn't seem to make sense to me."

Exactly when IS it a good idea to go after bureaucrats who lie to Congress???

Apparently, lying about the murder of 3,000 innocent Americans doesn't quite rise to the "magnitude" of lying about an Oval Office blowjob...
