ABC NEWS CALL MONITORING: WHAT'S GOING ON?
I wonder if conservatives would be so willing to support this program if the Democrats were in control. This war on terrorism is not very well defined, and could very well outlast the current President. In addition, it is not inconceivable that a Democrat might take over the precidency in 2008. Do you really want to hand over the powers of this President to a liberal?
Every time I hear about Guantanamo I think about Clinton and the Federal Case he had wiped from the books. The case where a Federal judge ruled that "Guantanamo Bay is under the 'complete jurisdiction and control' of the United States, prisoners there had to be accorded certain fundamental constitutional rights." I did not protest Clintons actions at the time, I trusted at least Congress or the Courts would step in and make sure that things didn't get out of hand. My problem was that I didn't look to the future. I didn't consider that perhaps a government that I don't agree with would come to power. I think conservatives need to think about that, especially considering the recent poll numbers. George Bush won reelection by the slimmest majority (2.5%) of any sitting president, the closest previous margin was 3.2% for Woodrow Wilson in 1916.
