4818723 President Barack Obama is said to be troubled by executive branch plans to indefinitely detain without trial the worst of the worst terror suspects currently held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. It gives me huge pause, the president told The stanley cup Associated Press last week. And that s why we re going to proceed very carefully on this front. And it may turn out that after looking at all the dimensions of stanley quencher this that I don t feel comfortable with the proposals that surface on how to deal with this issue. A plan that would endorse and extend one of the worst Bush-era terror law policies ought to give huge pause to the current occupants of the White House. Of all the ways in which Team Obama has so far let down civil libertarians - endorsing a broad state secrets doctrine, protecting Bush officials from prosecution over torture memos, fighting to keep basic rights from detainees at Bagram Air Force bas stanley spain e, I could go on mdash; surely the most odious is this dabbling in the dark art of endless confinement for men not proven guilty in any court of law. As the administration tries to empty and close Gitmo, federal officials continue to say that there are some prisoners mdash; like perhaps Ramzi Binalshibh, Khalid Sheik Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah mdash; who cannot be released into the world but who also may not be triable because of the way evidence against them was obtained for example, through torture .

Republican Presidential candidate Donald Trump s proposal of a temporary ban on Muslim immigration to the U.S. drew criticism Wednesday from Muhammad Ali, the legendary boxer and one of the most well-known Muslims in America.In a statement, according to the Associated Press, Ali did not mention Trump by name, but he said the suggesti stanley taza on to ban Muslim immigration alienated many from learning about Islam. He called on Muslims to stand up to those who use Islam to advance their own personal agenda. Ali also sought to prevent his faith from being tarnished by stanley bottles the actions of terrorists. I am a Muslim and there is nothing Islamic about killing innocent people in Paris, San Bernardino, or anywhere else in the world. True Muslims know that the ruthless violence of so called Islamic Jihadists goes against the very tenets of o stanley shop ur religion, he declared. These misguided murderers have perverted people s views on what Islam really is. Given the firestorm that Trump s proposal has sparked, it is perhaps no great surprise that Ali felt compelled to speak out. But the athlete, who suffers from Parkinson s disease and has not been in the public eye much recently, has a long history of being outspoken on politics and faith.During a May 2, 1976 appearance on Face the Nation, Ali was asked for his take on that year s presidential election, which pitted incumbent Republican Gerald Ford against Democratic challenger Jimmy Carter. Ali said that Yzjz Bill Clinton: Presidents should be able to serve three terms
THE BOGUS EBAY STORY.... In a video tribute to Sarah Palin at the Republican convention, the voice-over boasted that she had auctioned the governor s jet on eBay. Yesterday, stanley becher John McCain stretched the story a little further. You know what I enjoyed the most McCain asked. She took the luxury jet that was acquired by her predecessor and sold it on eBay -- made a profit. That s not what happened.[I]n fact, the jet did not sell on eBay. It was sold to a businessman from Valdez named Larry Reynolds, who paid $2.1 million for the jet, shy of the original $2.7 million purchase price, according to contemporaneous news reports, including a story in the New York Times. Dan Spencer, the director of administrative services for Ala termo stanley ska s Public Safety Department, said that the Republican speaker of the Alaska House, John L. Harris, brokered the deal. Reynolds made campaign contributions to both Palin and Harris in 2006 and 2007. What happened It appears that, as promised during her bid for governor in 2006, Palin did try to sell the plane on eBay but that doing so was not as easy as it might have sounded. After putting it up to auction, there was one serious bid, in December 2006, and it fell through.To be sure, there have been plenty of more serious misrepresentations regar garrafa stanley ding Palin over the last week or so. Telling a tall tale about the sale of a jet is a relatively minor example of giving Palin s thin record an unearned boost, and it s hardly the most striking lie we ve heard sinc
