:::The United States intends to build a big new prison at its main military base in Afghanistan, a shift from earlier aims to transfer most detainees to Afghan custody, The New York Times reported.
A Pentagon spokesman confirmed the report in the Times' Saturday edition of the planned 40-acre (24-hectare) complex at the Bagram military base. "There are plans under way to do that," Lt. Col. Mark Wright said.:::

A military judge on Friday postponed the first war crimes tribunal at Guantanamo Bay, saying he wants to wait until the Supreme Court makes its highly anticipated ruling on the right of detainees to challenge their confinement in civil courts.
Navy Capt. Keith Allred ruled the trial for Osama bin Laden's former driver should be delayed seven weeks, until July 21, in case the Supreme Court ruling affects his case. He scheduled pretrial hearings to begin a week earlier.
A Supreme Court ruling is expected by June 30.:::

Morning peeps.
That op ed is a load of crap.
Kathleen Parker wrote a load of crap in today's WAPO also.
Seems like most of the sockpuppets took their enemas and went to sleep.
This editorial fills me with urge to note that, although McCain would be the first US President known to have once broken under torture, most Americans would never hold this against him.
morning all, amazing, I was born to recidivist rednecks, that makes me a biased hick, too.
Morning, Ruth, ql, and the gang (all 7 Visitors of you).
Very nice. Hans von Spakovsky, vote suppressor extraordinaire, has withdrawn his name from consideration for a seat on the FEC. He's having financial difficulties. One, two, three, awwwwwwwwwwww.
I guess I shouldn't be so mean so early in the day.
Better to be mean early and get over it. Makes the rest of the day more tolerable.
I guess I shouldn't be so mean so early in the day.

I'm sure Hans would never be mean to you.
Hans will have no problem finding a job. Rethugs have a very good support system.
Although there will be some correction of course, apparently all that dry powder Nancy Pelosi talked about was really a polite way to say that Congressional Democrats are not that far away from the views of conservative extremists in the GOP.
The funding measure provided $162.5 billion to pay for the US wars in both Iraq and Afghanistan into the summer of 2009—several months after Bush leaves office and the next president takes control of the White House. When it was put to a vote, 132 Republicans sat on their hands, answering “present.” As a result, it went down to defeat by a narrow margin, with 141 voting in favor and 149 against.
Among those supporting the war-funding measure were 85 Democrats, who, together with the House Republicans, had been expected to assure its easy passage.
The vote had been elaborately and cynically choreographed by the House Democratic leadership with the aim of allowing the party’s members to register an empty protest against the war, while assuring that the money was approved to keep the war going.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (Democrat, California) was among those voting against the war funding, even after she had worked out the political mechanisms that she had counted on to get the money approved.
Hans will have no problem finding a job. Rethugs have a very good support system.

The local Catholic priest is a pretty nice fellow. I'm not Catholic but I have had many conversations with this guy and he is a long way away from most of the rabid jerks in the ministry. He stops in the local pub every Memorial Day and buys all the veterans a drink. He will engage in conversation with anybody without preaching, actually listens to other viewpoints.

Re Edward Luttwak's editorial, here's Wikipedia:
"On May 12, 2008 Luttwak published an op-ed in the New York Times, claiming that Barack Obama was Muslim by birth because his father's family was Muslim.[2] The editorial argued that should Obama be elected President, his status as an apostate would further damage American standing in the Islamic world. The article was heavily criticized with some readers chastizing Mr. Luttwak for spreading ignorance and bigotry about Islam.[3] Others have pointed out that Mr. Luttwak was factually incorrect on several grounds: one has to reject Islam as an adult to be considered an apostate, and Obama's father was an atheist. Still others have pointed out that since Mr. Obama's father abandoned his family, Islamic law dictates that his mother's religion, Christianity, is controlling on the offspring."[4]
Luttwak, like many others, would very much like to muddy the waters...
Ruth is from Texas. Texas pineapples are a big as sequoias.
Bush's spokesman said his stupid remarks at the Knesset were actually aimed at Carter. Doesn't matter. To equate diplomacy to appeasing Hitler is a transparent pandering to Israel's basest emotions.
The Knesset must have been disgusted, too.
Isn't negotiating with people we don't like what led to McCain getting out of the Hanoi Hilton?
Good morning, all.
Expected to wake up to rain, but there's nothing but blue sky. Only 39°, though.
Kathleen once waxed how some gay relative lived in San Francisco and how okay with fags she was, camping it up in Castro Street bars; and how gays don't really deserve equal rights with other humans.
Made me want to throttle her, it did.

67 and steamy here, but it is only supposed to get into the 80s today.

'lo, Gromit! I am not surprised to see Ruth and Molly I. up so early, but I didn't think you were one of us early birds.
'Course, I fell asleep last night about 8:30.
Well, that helps you find the people you wanna offend with, sorta like Craig's List.
atta, it's not negotiating when it hurts if you don't say "Guilty as charged"
Isn't negotiating with people we don't like what led to McCain getting out of the Hanoi Hilton?
Ah, yes, indeed... I've been spreading that little meme as far and wide as possible.
If we'd engaged in war the way McCain wants to keep Iraq going, he'd wouldn't be running for President. He'd be an old man sitting in prison, wondering what the fuck was wrong with the US for keeping a war going for fifty years.
plantsman, depressed
What can we do do cheer you up? Jokes? Limericks? Encouraging Rasmussen polls?
I was up late--no idea what I'm doing up now, except that it's impossible for me to sleep past seven.

David Derbes, ochen' pissed. | 05.17.08 - 7:04 am | #
Is Luttwak another one who went batshit insane over 9-11? Because I don't remember this stupid before?
The reason high 90's are a big deal is mid 60's are normal for this time of year.
On May 12, 2008 Luttwak published an op-ed in the New York Times, claiming that Barack Obama was Muslim by birth because his father's family was Muslim
And let us assume this as true for a moment:
One of the many funny (to me) things about Christianity: the Blood of Jesus can wash away all sins including Original Sin. It can save souls, create miracles, defy Satan, turn the universe on its ear.
But it can't "really" make a good Christian out of a Jew or Muslim or other benighted sort. It can only make them a fifth columnist of evil among the Christian community.
Always wondered why the Christians have this call to go convert all the world, then don't believe that the converting makes the converted as good as themselves.
So yeah, Obama, though he doesn't realize it, is really Muslim. And when his Imam Master sends out the code, the Indonesio-Manchurian Candidate will activate and personally hand Christendom over to the Saracen hordes.
*sigh*

Molly: Aha. I assumed the kids always got you up early. When my one and only daughter was young, she'd get me up just by running around.
Now, I get up circa 4:30 because it's quiet and I can get a bunch of work done before the family begins their rituals of importuning.
I wonder how Spitzer's initiative to hold onto to sex offenders after they have finished serving their jail sentence is working out.
Requiring sex offenders to live in only certain neighborhoods has led to them living as a group in certain cases. Of course, it violates their parole to associate with other sex offenders but when there is no place else to go... I remember reading about a motel outside town that was full up with s.o. living there full time because it was the only place far enough away from schools & playgrounds. Weird.
Both Bob Herbert and Gail Colllins beat up on Huggy's Fantasy First Term in the NYT today -- I was afraid it was only me that thought the whole speech was stoopit.
