Prisoners declared enemy combatants do not have the right to a lawyer and the American judiciary cannot second-guess the military's classification of such detainees, the Justice Department argued yesterday in a brief to an appeals court.

About time we started worrying about these guys! First the supreme court (Capitalization removed on purpose) halts a constitutionaly accurate challenge of a state's internal elections, handing GWB the presidency, and then his people (the truly scary ones) make a grab like this!
To quote a very scared lawyer...
Dunham, who has until tomorrow to respond, agreed. "It is scarier than the dirty bomb," he said. "Now the government can label somebody something and then throw the key away forever. . . . The idea that a court can't inquire into these detention situations, to determine whether they are reasonable or not, is downright scary to me."

Quick rant! What is it about Intel that pushes them to screw their customers sooo hard!? First they start a "great" new company, Pandesic, to host and nurture ecommerce companies.
Then, after the hard sell about how stable and smart they are because they are INTEL, just when investors start getting jittery on the category, they get cold feet and pull out! I mean DUH!!!
Then, as if that wasn't enough, they put the hard sell to the board and we get us a great deal (only $56k/mo) on 6 servers in their new "managed care" facility where we only have to spend half as much time yelling at them.
But it get's better... One offer from a competitor and our price drops to $21k/mo??? What happened to giving us an honest deal?
Why should it surprise us that they would shut it down! Here we are, being asked to move on, they don't like this managed care stuff.
AAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Life in the rain. It catches you by surprise. 80 on Sunday. Raining in sheets on Monday. Just when you think that summer is here. There it goes.
Good thing I like rain. The only thing about rain in the summer is that the power isn't there. A good winter storm gives so much more than it gets. Branches and water lashing out, by now, in early summer the rain brings life.
ISDN? Why so slooooowww...
