R.Neal said "Seriously, don't you think America is on to the "up is down", "war is peace", "suspending the Bill of Rights is liberty" bizzaro-world-speak by now?"

I don't know but that's one problem that I've got with the Republican Party - they do not seem to have much respect for the Bill of Rights or civil liberties in general.

They're willing to fight wars for liberty but don't place great value in liberty. Puzzling.

According to the article, Republican say the 9/11 commission recommendations haven't been implemented because they were blocked by Democrats in Congress. That would be the Republican controlled Congress.

Well, that's not EXACTLY what was said, was it?

Republicans on the Homeland Security committee offered immediate criticism of the package, arguing that Democrats had not followed through on promises to enact all of the remaining commission recommendations. They complained that Democrats were limiting debate and that many Democrats previously opposed the changes that they are now advocating.

And besides, you wouldn't argue that the Democrats were incapable of blocking things they were opposed to in the Republican controlled Congress, would you?

The repubs complain that it was the dems who blocked the 9-11
reforms and yet in the vote today the majority of repubs voted against the reforms including our do-nothing rep Duncan.

Be a blessing to someone today.
