Another F*cking Lie....Detainees
~snip~Administration Prods Congress to Curb the Rights of Detainees
WASHINGTON, July 12 — A day after saying that terror suspects had a right to protections under the Geneva Conventions, the Bush administration said Wednesday that it wanted Congress to pass legislation that would limit the rights granted to detainees.
The earlier statement had been widely interpreted as a retreat, but testimony to Congress by administration lawyers on Wednesday made clear that the picture was more complicated.

absolutely no understanding of Murphy's Law, KISS, or any other principle of good design.

2. Administration lawyers are mainlining testosterone
can they pull their heads out of their asses and think about the country for once instead of how a "retreat" makes their penises look so small?
