Powell is in the Blame America First crowd. He hates America. He obviously wants the terrorists to win.

[Jim]

They're the ones giving the orders these days.

there are, in fact, evil demons disrupting president bush's efforts to combat the terrorists. today the senate armed services committee endorsed legislation to extend more legal rights to suspected terrorists. it's on the front page of nytimes.com right now.

It is very important for the American people to understand that in order to protect this country, we must be able to interrogate people who have information about future attacks," Bush said. "I will resist any bill that does not enable this program to go forward with legal clarity.

 

"If there's not clarity, if there's ambiguity, if there's any doubt in our professionals' mind if they can conduct their operation in a legal way, with support of the Congress, the program won't go forward and the American people will be in danger," Bush said.
