House considers weakening ethics rules

annnnnnnd

US Said to Mull Lifetime Terror-Suspect Detentions

Why? Because they haven't got enough evidence to take them to court.. so they'll keep them in jail until they die.. or George Bush and his ilk discover the meaning of "ethics".

Ok, lets see if I get this right?
They can arrest someone, anyone, on a pretext. Accuse them of being a terrorist, and then keep them in jail for life, without a trial... because they don't have enough evidence to bring them to trial ?!!

Lettres de'cachet by any other name then.

And I wonder why they want to weaken the House ethics rules...NOT!

What next, President for life Bush? Lifetime Immunity from prosecution for him should he actually retire in 2008? Privitisation of all Government departments? Merger of the Office of Homeland Security, with the Police and the Army?

Gah...

a turkish prison..but no it's an american one...and he brings us down lower on the rungs of ethical treatment of human beings...until we are becoming a country much like the one we just invaded (Iraq) who holds prisoners for life without the "luxury" of a trial, use torture as a means of questioning, and force their beliefs down the throats of their citizens..yeah so when is the rest of th world going to invade us to set things to rights?

What's an ilk? Is it indigenous to North America?
