an amazing speech by senator robert c byrd

.what follows is a VERY small part. i urge you to read the whole thing


....................In the name of "fighting terror" are we to sacrifice every freedom to a President's demand? How far are we to go? Can a President order warrantless house-by-house searches of a neighborhood, where he suspects a terrorist may be hiding? Can he impose new restrictions on what can be printed, broadcast, or even uttered privately, because of some perceived threat to national security? Laughable thoughts? I think not. For this Administration has so traumatized the people of this nation -- and many in the Congress -- that some will swallow whole whatever rubbish that is spewed from this White House, as long as it is in some tenuous way connected to the so-called war on terror................

Many times he has spoken up eloquently in favor of democracy ... this is a nice statement ... for sure ... so true ... I bet they'd like to send him to Gitmo ...

the only GOOD thing about gitmo is it's NOT big enough for ALL OF US
