Sen. Kennedy Criticizes Frist for Not Fixing Problem that Kennedy Deliberately Created
        Senator Edward M. Kennedy released a scathing attack on Sen. Frist yesterday after he, the Republican leader of the Senate, announced that the current session of Congress would not be able to pass a comprehensive immigration reform package this year.
        “How can Republicans say they are for making America safer when they can’t even pass a comprehensive immigration reform bill to protect our borders?” said Kennedy.
        As chairman of the Senate Subcommittee on Immigration, Senator Kennedy has had chief oversight responsibility for the Immigration and Naturalization Service, which he has personally emasculated so that they could not effectively enforce our own immigration laws. He was the chief sponsor of the Immigration Amendments of 1965 and the Refugee Act of 1980, and a major proponent of the fraud-ridden 1986 immigration amnesty. In short, it was Kennedy himself that “broke” the system he is criticizing Frist for not “fixing”.
        As in the previous legislative debacles on immigration that Kennedy has sponsored, the current bill rewards those who violate American laws, and provides incentives for more illegal aliens to cross our borders. Since Kennedy first floated the idea of a new “amnesty” deal, the number of border crossings has swelled to crisis proportions.
        Against this hypocritical backdrop, Kennedy will address yet another immigrant rally on the Washington Mall at 4:30 today, and is expected to say that Republicans are at fault for any inequities experienced by immigrants. Kennedy said in response to Frist, that we need immigration reform to “protect our borders.” It is expected that he will tell those at the rally that we need immigration reform so that the “undocumented workers” here can have the right to vote, get free healthcare, and other benefits provided for by American taxpayers.

Boston Globe Lead Story "Bush Admits to CIA Jails” Spun as if Bush did Something Wrong
       The Boston Globe lead story "Bush Admits to CIA Jails" is meant to give the impression that the fact that the CIA has been holding high-profile terrorist suspects is somehow scandalous.
       Not only it is not scandalous, interrogating terrorists is exactly what the CIA is supposed to be doing when such individuals are captured. The Globe, however, infers that being held by the CIA equates to being tortured, a charge Bush was forced to deny.
       According to the New York Times, the detainees held by the CIA were "given dental and vision care as well as the Koran, prayer rugs and clocks to schedule prayers, the official said. They were also given reading material, DVD’s and access to exercise equipment."
       The President adamantly defended the CIA's "tough but necessary" interrogation methods, which, without resorting to torture, yielded information that thwarted terrorist attacks and led to the capture of top Al Qaeda leaders.
