Bush's Mysterious 'New Programs'
http://www.consortiumnews.com/2006/022106a.html

excerpt:

Not that George W. Bush needs much encouragement, but Sen. Lindsey Graham suggested to Attorney General Alberto Gonzales a new target for the administration’s domestic operations -- Fifth Columnists, supposedly disloyal Americans who sympathize and collaborate with the enemy.

“The administration has not only the right, but the duty, in my opinion, to pursue Fifth Column movements,” Graham, R-S.C., told Gonzales during Senate Judiciary Committee hearings on Feb. 6.

“I stand by this President’s ability, inherent to being Commander in Chief, to find out about Fifth Column movements, and I don’t think you need a warrant to do that,” Graham added, volunteering to work with the administration to draft guidelines for how best to neutralize this alleged threat.

“Senator,” a smiling Gonzales responded, “the President already said we’d be happy to listen to your ideas.”...

...Recent developments suggest that the Bush administration may already be contemplating what to do with Americans who are deemed insufficiently loyal or who disseminate information that may be considered helpful to the enemy.

1. Mars, bitches!
The union of two Bush programs, neither of which should be or can be implemented if we elect a Democratic majority to Congress in 2006.

There will be no internment housing shortage,
they have plenty of mobile homes just waiting for us.

8. Once again, the detention camps.
"The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to expand existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs, KBR said. The contract may also provide migrant detention support to other government organizations in the event of an immigration emergency, as well as the development of a plan to react to a national emergency, such as a natural disaster, the company said"

Note the phrase "support the rapid development of new programs". :wtf:

12. By "immigrants", I'm assuming he is talking about
Americans who are in "HIS" country illegally. (In other words, anyone who hasn't signed his fucking loyalty oath.)

Intead of John Edwards, maybe smirky should talk about "Two Americas."

On second thought, he is. He's just beating around the bush.

questions that place her handlers in a bad light, the next step is to cast aspersion upon all, each, and everyone else who will not sing or dance to her, or their tune; the end-game is not yet seen from here imo but my sense is that it will be ugly beyond belief
