No Democratic Leadership Positions for Lieberman

Subject: Tell the Senate Democrats: Strip Joe Lieberman of his chairmanship.

Dear Friend,

Senator Lieberman has supported a war in Iraq that has, by nearly all accounts, weakened our security rather than strengthened it. He has stood idly by and allowed the Bush Administration to spy on Americans and torture innocent human beings.

I've had enough of Senator Lieberman squandering his power to aid the likes of President Bush - so I just signed a petition asking my senator to vote to strip Lieberman of his chairmanship. I hope you will, too.

Please have a look and take action.

Thanks!
Jim Ramelis

Hello Garrett,

Here are three comprehensive articles for your consideration regarding the issue of our weakened national security due to the unnecessary war in Iraq. My opinion is that this war has served the purpose of uniting the Islamic radicals around the world while dividing our allies. Read and grieve...

Now, regarding naming one innocent human who has been tortured by the Bush administration...Maher Arar, a Canadian engineer. The below article contains the story.

Canadian cleared of terrorism after rendition, torture in Syria
Ottawa report blasts U.S., Canadian authorities

THE NEW YORK TIMES

OTTAWA -- A government commission exonerated a Canadian computer engineer Monday of any ties to terrorism and issued a scathing report that faulted both Canada and the United States for his deportation four years ago to Syria, where he was imprisoned and tortured.

Garrett, welcome to Crossleft

Questions

Submitted by Garrett Mullet on Sat, 11/29/2008 - 09:37.

I have two of them, questions that is. Here they are:

1) Besides costing money and attention, how has the Iraq war weakened our security?

2) What is the name of one innocent human being who has been tortured by the Bush administration?

I eagerly await a comprehensive reply.
