    Comment: After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, and put them in prison camps like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

    Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

    Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 trillion of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

    Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

    Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

    Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

    And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

    In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:

    Comment: Your story mentions two occurrences of melanoma for Sen. McCain and says that his two prior incidences (in 1993 and 2000) "put him at increased risk of having a third." I understood that McCain had already had a third occurrence of melanoma in February 2002, when a malignancy was removed from his nose. Here is a link to the story ("Lesion removed from McCain's nose malignant") from CNN, dated February 5, 2002:

    Could you clarify whether McCain has had two occurrences of melanoma or three? Thank you.

    Comment: I'm 33, and a 7 year melanoma survivor. I am glad McCain is doing so well and that his popularity continues to make people aware of this cancer. I wish him continued health.

    Comment: well , i think it is not funny to publish something like that and that could happen to anybody anytime or something else so i do not think that should not be a problem to vote for him.Anybody can get sick anytime no matter what your age is

Isn't it ironic: Xerox is hoping it can profit by teaching companies how to reduce their printing.
