Here's something you don't see very often.

America Accuses Israel of Discriminating Against 'American Palestinians'

(IsraelNN.com) Acting on direct orders from Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, the US has filed a discrimination complaint with the Israeli Embassy in Washington.

America claims that Israel’s policy since April 2006 represents flagrant discrimination against American citizens of “Palestinian descent,” citing the difficulties such incur when trying to visit PA (Palestinian Authority) autonomous areas.

America states in the complaint that the Israeli policy is one of discrimination, apparent in the treatment of the Arab American citizens at border crossings.

New take on old right of habeas corpus wrote:
"This is an outright slap at the Supreme Court, and it is heading for invalidation," said Eric M. Freedman, a law professor at Hofs tra University and an expert on ha beas corpus. "This is a core principle of law that was established by the prisoners who were tossed into the Tower of London by the king, and it was preserved in the Constitution. Now, Congress is saying it doesn't apply to this disfavored group of prisoners."

As an academic I found this one particularly funneh

Imagine your whole field of research being written off just like that!! This guy would have to move from the law to the history department overnight!

I just take a deep breath, exhale and think to myself that there really isnt any hope for mankind.

Lets make exeptions in the law whenever we want votes. And you know the scary part??? If doing stuff like this gets you votes, well what kind of fucked up people are voting then!

And now "space" ie. rest of the universe, "belongs to" US.

I guess this is up next for bush:

One kingdom - One people - One leader

Or as the original version go: Ein Reich, Ein Volk, Ein Fuhrer

Edit: I guess Bush could use another one for his War Against Terror: "Ein Kampf - Ein Sieg!" Im sure he will sooner or later

Every palestinian is a terrorist and every german is a nazi..right?

But they didn't. They just specified when it could be suspended during wartime.

The right is still there in most cases.

Why dont they make the law only apply if you make less then 1M $ / year?

Or any other change that would be as stupid. "Only applies to war" ?
Well US is at "war with terror" constantly and they will never stop to be.
