Owning the detainee disaster {at GITMO} There was big news on Tuesday, but it didn’t come from either John McCain or Barack Obama in the presidential debate between the two held in Nashville, Tennessee. Rather, it came from a federal courtroom in Washington, D.C., where a U.S. district judge ordered the release -- into the United States -- of 17 detainees who have been held at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base since 2002 Editor's Note -- It is hard to believe that a U. S. district judge would be willing to release terrorists into the U. S. Also, we need to know the name of this just!

'Pulpit rebellion' misses mark By Cal Thomas HOUSTON — There is no telling how many churches actually participated in "Pulpit Freedom Sunday,” an event designed to challenge the government's restriction on political pronouncements from the pulpit. Editor's Note -- Which ever way this challenge falls, it should fall equally on the liberal churches. We all know that the liberal churches have their politicians give speeches from the pulpits of all their churches every year. No one takes their IRS privilegs away. When churches can't speak up against abortion and other issues the scriptures speak against, then I don't see why the conservative churches should be solely picked piy as going against the law. If something is in God's Word, then minister's should be able to preach on it - even if it does not sit well with Cal Thomas or those with the Separation of Church and State. And, Mr. Thomas, you can't just pick out one scripture to chastise the conservative preachers.
