Another big story that the MSM refuses to report.
If you receive your political and world news from fair and balanced sources, this will not come as a surprise. However, if you are one who only lives by what Katie tells you, along with Dan Rather, CBS, NPR, NY Times, etc., then this will come as a surprise.
After years of partisan accusations, illegal leaks from the media and or Washington, Bush Administration lawyers, John Yoo and Jay Bybee, have been vindicated. They committed no misconduct. But zero reporting by the MSM all the while they bashed Bush and those in his Administration about illegal handling of terrorists. This is as pathetic as it gets with our bias MSM and those that still follow and believe we have no bias at all.
Mr. Yoo wrote a letter to the Wall Street Journal that looks like a letter to president Obama. Here is the URL for the letter and the findings that the Bush lawyers did no wrong and how pathetic Eric Holder and his cronies are with how and when they handled those fake accusations. However, what is just as disturbing are idiots and dishonest people like Holder who will not only retain their jobs, few in this country will ever know that these trials against Bush and his Administration are a joke and are nothing more than anti-Americans politics by our liberal democrats. More reasons why these democrats are either quitting or getting their butts kicked in almost every election since December and why Obama is losing all credibility as our president which the polls back. And still one of the fastest falls from grace ever by a sitting president in such a short time. Yet some still follow the chosen one.
In office only one day, Mr. Obama ordered the shuttering of the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, followed later by the announcement that he would bring terrorists to an Illinois prison. He terminated the Central Intelligence Agency's ability to use "enhanced interrogations techniques" to question al Qaeda operatives. He stayed the military trial, approved by Congress, of al Qaeda leaders. He ultimately decided to transfer Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the planner of the 9/11 attacks, to a civilian court in New York City, and automatically treated Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, who tried to blow up a Detroit-bound airliner on Christmas Day, as a criminal suspect (not an illegal enemy combatant). Nothing better could have symbolized the new president's determination to take us back to a Sept. 10, 2001, approach to terrorism…
The rotten quality of the OPR efforts—and Mr. Margolis's repudiation of them—raises real questions about the lawyers who produced this work. H. Marshall Jarrett, who supervised the first OPR draft, is a protégé of Mr. Holder who managed not to produce his draft report until the Bush Administration was preparing to leave office. After Mr. Mukasey "memorialized" his concerns, as his letter put it, the Jarrett draft was leaked without the Mukasey response. Mr. Holder reassigned Mr. Jarrett in April 2009 to lead the Executive Office for U.S. Attorneys, an arguably more powerful post. His OPR effort makes him unfit for such a job.

Another big story completely overlooked is the government questioning Toyota. What is behind this charade? The fact that Obama & Co. own GM, and are in the union's pockets - since Toyota doesn't employ UAW workers? Got an ax to grind up there on the hill? Cars are recalled ALL the time - in huge numbers. Yet why the big target on Toyota? Couldn't one or two reporters do some real investigating? Rather than bobbing their heads in unison with The One and rip Toyota to shreds?

"The Justice Department's senior ethicist has concluded that Bush Administration lawyers John Yoo and Jay Bybee committed no professional misconduct. The issue now is whether the protégés of Attorney General Eric Holder who led this exercise at Justice's Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR) should themselves be in the dock.
That's our reading of the analysis by Associate Deputy Attorney General David Margolis, a career official who reviewed both the Bush-era legal memos on interrogating terror suspects and their review by the lawyers at OPR. Remarkably, his report is far more scathing about OPR than it is about Messrs. Yoo and Bybee, who he says made legal errors but did so in good faith, out of honest legal analysis, and in the ethical service of their clients in the executive branch at a time of war."

"I can't see how you can defend the rights of liberals..." First they came for the liberals, and I said nothing because I wasn't a liberal...

Americans doubt lawmakers will agree on a new healthcare bill at Thursday's bipartisan summit. Without a deal, Americans lean against Congress passing a bill similar to the one President Obama (49% to 42%) proposed and oppose Democrats trying to side step a Republican filibuster (52% to 39%).

Not much difference.

Why do you support psychotic actions that kill innocent civilians? If he was a martyr to you was Timothy Mc Veigh also your hero.
You're a sick individual.

This was sent to me by friend, I do not know where it comes from originally: THE PARTY OF LAWYERS……
The Democrat Party has become the Lawyers’ Party. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton are lawyers. Bill Clinton and Michelle Obama are lawyers. John Edwards, the other former Democrat candidate for president, is a lawyer, and so is his wife, Elizabeth. Every Democrat nominee since 1984 went to law school (although Gore did not graduate). Every Democrat vice presidential nominee since 1976, except for Lloyd Bentsen, went to law school. Look at the Democrat Party in Congress: the Majority Leader in each house is a lawyer.
The Republican Party is different. President Bush and Vice President Cheney were not lawyers, but businessmen. The leaders of the Republican Revolution were not lawyers. Newt Gingrich was a history professor; Tom Delay was an exterminator; and, Dick Armey was an economist. House Minority Leader Boehner was a plastic manufacturer, not a lawyer. The former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist is a heart surgeon.
Who was the last Republican president who was a lawyer? Gerald Ford, who left office 31 years ago and who barely won the Republican nomination as a sitting president, running against Ronald Reagan in 1976. The Republican Party is made up of real people doing real work. The Democrat Party is made up of lawyers. Democrats mock and scorn men who create wealth, like Bush and Cheney, or who heal the sick, like Frist, or who immerse themselves in history, like Gingrich.
