If this keeps up we'll be building our own network of gulags next.

Isn't Guantanamo our gulag?

Obama is either going to sign this or already knows that the Senate has a veto-proof percentage.

What this means is that we are heading for a big war and a lot sooner than people think.

Already the Russians are staging ships in Syria and deploying mobile missiles on their European borders.

Argentina might be a good option- assuming we can get out before the SHTF

Looks like America to me:

Tule Lake, Manzanar, Minidoka, Poston, Gila River, Granada, Topaz, Heart Mtn., Rohwer, Jerome, and on and on...

Germans were even brought here from South America and imprisoned.

All this under a Democrat who not only didn't threaten a veto - he owned the idea.

Better start arresting the CIA. They overthrew one democratically elected government in 1953 and tried to overthrow a few other governments a few years after that.

In criticizing the measure, White House officials said that it would cause confusion and interfere with a counterterrorism effort that has been remarkably successful since Sept. 11, 2001 -- across two administrations.

Did I read that right? The Obama administration is saying that the Bush administration's counterterrorism effort was "remarkably successful?"

Don't cry for me....

Gonna need more than one.

Oh Mr Grumpy, the gulags are being built as we blog away, by for profit corporations and hotel chains. The So What jail comes to mind right away as an example.

Let's remember who voted for this.
Not surprised by Lieberman. He should not have been allowed to run for Senate. As I recall Connecticut is the only state that allowed such a process that he could turn around and run Independent after he lost the Democratic Party Primary.

The final vote showed bizarre fractures among Democrats, erasing the usual barriers between conservatives and liberals. The 16 who voted for the harsh detainee rules were Sens. Bob Casey (Pa.), Kent Conrad (N.D.), Kay Hagan (N.C.), Daniel Inouye (Hawaii), Herb Kohl (Wis.), Mary Landrieu (La.), Carl Levin (Mich.), Joe Manchin (W. Va.), Clair McCaskill (Mo.), Robert Menendez (N.J.), Ben Nelson (Neb.), Mark Pryor (Ark.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Jeanne Shaheen (N.H.), Debbie Stabenow (Mich.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (R.I.). National defense hawk and independent Sen. Joe Lieberman (Conn.) also voted in favor of the tougher language.

...Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) emerged from the meeting -- where former Vice President Dick Cheney was in attendance -- saying his colleagues had "a spirited discussion" about Udall's amendment, and predicted nearly all Republicans would oppose the amendment, as they did.

Update 10:30 p.m.
Sen. Menendez later sought, and was granted, unanimous consent from the Senate to change his vote. He is now recorded as supporting the Udall amendment, with the final tally changed to 38 to 60.

Why was Dick Cheney in attendance at a meeting? Wanting to make sure Halliburton contracts will be needed?
