Sixteen protesters arrested outside White House as Bush signs terror bill

WHITE HOUSE While President Bush was signing the terror detainee bill, some opponents were being arrested outside.

Authorities say 16 people are charged with impeding access to a White House entrance. They were hauled away from a sidewalk.

The demonstrators come from a coalition of religious groups and had been shouting slogans like "Bush is the terrorist" and "Torture is a crime."

[Infinite Hope]

2. How eerily symbolic.

[havocmom]

3. We all enemy combatants now

If the chimp say we are, we are and there's no way to argue the point.

I grieve for my country. I am ashamed of our nation now as it is. before the shades of all who have fought for liberty.

11. so the bastard finally had the guts to sign it. n/t

13. "terror bill" -- more like "torture bill"

Hell, I bet I can come up with at least 5 more descriptive names for the bill without even trying.

star chamber signing statement
edict of inquisition
Geneva unconvention
writ of maximum corpses
revocation of the magna carta act of 2006

This is not hard.

[The Count]

14. On "character counts" week? Impossible!

I guess they didn't specify - counts as what? A crime?

[Malikshah]

15. We need to have a poster made of the 16 heroes and heroines..

16 who immediately stood up against the regime.

[pinerow]

16. Sixteen people protested the most egregious assault

on the Constitution...:wtf:

[RUMMYisFROSTED]

17. I take it that you're one of the 16?

If not... :wtf:


The most egregious assault will be if the SCOTUS doesn't overturn it.
