Hello, it's finally the weekend!!!!!!! Thank God and hallelujah.

Friday rant: I am sick, sick, sick of hearing the right wingers say that the detainees at Guantanamo Bay are not being mistreated and that they are not entitled to the Geneva Convention rights. Most, if not all, of them have never even been charged with anything but pose a "threat" to our nation's security. Only a handful of them have caused any trouble after being released. I applaud Sen. Dick Durbin for the comments he made regarding Guantanamo Bay. "If I read this to you and did not tell you that it was an FBI agent describing what Americans had done to prisoners in their control, you would most certainly believe this must have been done by Nazis, Soviets in their gulags, or some mad regime — Pol Pot or others — that had no concern for human beings," That is the quote that all of the right wingers are focusing on and I have to tell you he is right. There is a great article in this week's Time magazine that details the torture of the 20th hijacker, the one who didn't make it onto one of the planes on 9/11. It talks about the abuse, physical, mental, and spiritual that these soldiers are employing. Either charge the detainees or let them go. For God's sake doesn't our country look bad enough already? And that is not un-American as the Bush administration would have people believe, that is standing up for doing what is right and just.
