GOP’s Pretty Boy is Not So Fiscally Conservative…
Mitt Romney spends like Jim Edwards in a barbershop… almost exactly like Jim Edwards in a barbershop: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070717/ap_on_el_pr/romney_spending
From makeup to lawyers and consultants… the Romney campaign is stimulating the economy all by itself… so much so that Romney had to reach into his own pocket to cover a $6M deficit in spending versus funds raised.

A Guantanamo at Every Police Station — The Plea for Unlimited Detention
An article over at the neocon brietbart news network website is as slim on facts and details as it is on sanity…
“Police chiefs are demanding the power to lock up terror suspects indefinitely, it has emerged.
Reopening the debate over detention without trial, the Association of Chief Police Officers (Acpo) called for some suspects to be held for “as long as it takes”.
Acpo president Ken Jones said police were struggling to operate within the 28-day limit, stressing the global scale of terror investigations and the need to arrest suspects early.
“We are now arguing for judicially supervised detention for as long as it takes,” he told The Observer.”

Civilian Deaths Mounting in Afghanistan
“Women and children have been killed and 13 houses destroyed,” said Bala Boluk council head Haji Khudairam. “In the bombing, in total, 108 civilians have been killed.”
“But Western unwillingness to accept casualties among their own soldiers and a shortage of ground troops means commanders often turn to air power to beat the Taliban, and that almost inevitably leads to civilians deaths, military analysts say.”
