I am trying so hard to retain some shred of belief that today is just another day of disappointment.

with my party
with my country
with the current administration
with over one third of Iraqis lost, maimed or dead
with my blood stained hands

I didn't want any of this. I used to believe in the golden rule - be good to others, etc. But today I find it nearly impossible to believe this anymore.

Today I feel no one speaks for me

Today the US Senate voted against a bill that would have retored habeas corpus, or the right for detainees in Guantanamo and other foreigners to challenge their detention in the courts. Forty Three Senators voted against restoring an institution as fundamental to this country as The Bill Of Rights - the right to a fair trial.

The propsoed legislation, being sponsored by Senators Leahy/Dodd,needed approval by 60 votes in order to be to pass its first phase in the Senate. It received only 56, with 43 voting against. Because I believe it is vital to understand who amd where those in our government are voting in a way most progressive Americans believe is profoundly wrong, I am publishing a list of the NAY voters by STATE. More below.

This is not much of a diary and would most likely be a comment in a Mike Stark diary if one were still up. I just received a response from the Chief of Police (Hogan) regarding the Jonas Phillips case. More below the fold.

I have read most of the diaries/comments regarding O'Reillly's attempts to smear The Daily Kos. I agree with most of what I have read. There is a story much bigger behind his recent antics that deserves to be heard in order for effective action to be taken. I write this diary not so much for the defense of DKOS but for the future of the blogoshere as we know it - a blogosphere that News Corp has set it sights on to either own or crush. And since we don't fit their model, News Corp has no financial interest (ownership) nor will they ever, so that means crush._

Ever hear of the IFC - Iraqi Freedom Congress? Neither did I until about 4:00 am PTD, when I ran across an article about US troops killing one of their leaders on July 4, 2007. That caught my interest so I dug around. What I found sickened me and brought me to a new level of disgust with our elected leaders - all of them. I experienced a sence of utter revulsion and betrayal. Some of you may too. Below I'll explain why

On DKOS, in any given day, there are 10 to 20 highly important issues to be dealt with, scrutinized and have the fine minds here go to work on. Here's a few suggestions for those that insist on taking valuable time from impeachment organizing activities that can actually do some good.

Or why Impeachment is now the only option.

I'm sure many of you have had management training classes. I am very grateful to have had a boss that was passionate about having a management team trained in the art of servant leadership. Because of him, I have faced my worst leadership skills directly in the eye and learned to overcome most of them - its an ongoing process. As a result I am proud to say that many people that have worked for me have gone on to surpass me as executives. That may be the best acheivement of my career. Our country has a boss. He does not share any of the tenants of good leadership, now practiced by most, if not all, of the top 100 companies. For the sake of Company America - he must be fired and fired now.

I am quite sure this diary will stir up debate and I welcome that - but lets try to be civil.

Until recently the result of winning the 2006 election had not really sunk into me. I did not realize how perilously close we were as a nation to becoming a dictatorship, or MONARCHY lead by Kings George and Dick. But make no mistake about it; this is still their principle desire so the need to be ever vigilant remains the top responsibility of every American against this constant threat. For example, with a 2008 election looming, every trick in the Bush/Cheney /Rove arsenal will be used to derail it from happening so that our "wartime Presidents" stay in power. And the result would be catastrophic.

In this extraordinary time, forget the jewelry, the lingerie, the mall altogether. Women all over the world understand the daily erododing of women’s rights around the globe.

Whether it be back to the stone age in Iraq or sex slave trafficking in Eastern Europe or GENOCIDE and rape in Durfur, women know other women are under siege. IF YOU WANT TO SHOW HER YOU REALLY CARE, THIS HOLIDAY SEASON DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. More below the foldwhHO

Michael Ware is a true hero to me. When the rest of the American press is at best, asleep, or at worst, reading off White House press releases, he risks his life everyday to tell the truth on the ground in Iraq. And he has been doing it for over 3 years. I know many will say that he is safe in the Green Zone. We have all read the reports that it is not if but when – the Green Zone is horribly attacked. My hope and prayer is that he will leave by then. Even though he doesn’t seem like the kind of guy who will. More below the fold.
