Well we have a little bit of integrity at the UN versus none that I've been able to detect in the White House.... as Largis implied - neither one is a paragon of virtue.”

“Largis ?

I just call him "Q" because I can't remember how to spell his name either.”

It's a sad day when you have to use the the UN as your yardstick of honesty in politics. I'd rather concentrate on fixing whats wrong than comparing America to other countries or the Un.
And speaking of examining money, do the words oil for food ring a bell? If it comes down to comparing the US to the UN, I'll take the US every time.

“StickmanWalking - I have a different take on the responsibilities of citizens. I feel it is the duty of every American to say so loudly when the country is screwing up. Protest was what got us to separate from England and to end the Vietnam War. Protest will likely be what forces the end of the Iraqi war.”

“WASHINGTON, March 22 — In his first weeks as defense secretary, Robert M. Gates repeatedly argued that the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, had become so tainted abroad that legal proceedings at Guantánamo would be viewed as illegitimate, according to senior administration officials. He told President Bush and others that it should be shut down as quickly as possible.

Mr. Gates’s appeal was an effort to turn Mr. Bush’s publicly stated desire to close Guantánamo into a specific plan for action, the officials said. In particular, Mr. Gates urged that trials of terrorism suspects be moved to the United States, both to make them more credible and because Guantánamo’s continued existence hampered the broader war effort, administration officials said.

Mr. Gates’s arguments were rejected after Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales and some other government lawyers expressed strong objections to moving detainees to the United States, a stance that was backed by the office of Vice President Dick Cheney, administration officials said.

As Mr. Gates was making his case, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice joined him in urging that the detention facility be shut down, administration officials said. But the high-level discussions about closing Guantánamo came to a halt after Mr. Bush rejected the approach, although officials at the National Security Council, the Pentagon and the State Department continue to analyze options for the detention of terrorism suspects.

The base at Guantánamo holds about 385 prisoners, among them 14 senior leaders of Al Qaeda, including Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who were transferred to it last year from secret prisons run by the Central Intelligence Agency. Under the Pentagon’s current plans, some prisoners, including Mr. Mohammed, will face war crimes charges under military trials that could begin later this year.

“The policy remains unchanged,” said Gordon D. Johndroe, a spokesman for the National Security Council.

Even so, one senior administration official who favors the closing of the facility said the battle might be renewed.

“Let’s see what happens to Gonzales,” that official said, referring to speculation that Mr. Gonzales will be forced to step down, or at least is significantly weakened, because of the political uproar over the dismissal of United States attorneys. “I suspect this one isn’t over yet.”

“Call the President and tell him to give me 1 year of uninterrupted operations. Call a General worth a Dannnm and tell him he has one year to WIN. Don't care if he blows Iran, Iraq et al off the map, END THIS.

With the 12 brits the Iranians grabbed...I would see that Iran loses a WHOLE COASTAL TOWN. That means around the clock bombing. Then all their training sites GONE overnight if possible.

If there was a squawk out of the United Twits....have the office closed and rented out for money to New York.”
