Spineless, gutless
From Anthony D. Romero’s column in the Fall 2007 ACLU National newsletter:
[After the 2006 election] many were optimistic that the new Congress would stop acting like a rubber stamp for the White House ... Unfortunately, it seems that our new leaders in the House and Senate didn’t get the message. ... The leaders of the 110th Congress have been so compliant, so silent and so intimidated by Bush administrant accusations that they are ‘soft on terrorism.’Nearly a year into its first session, this Congress has failed to restore habeas corpus; failed to end torture and rendition; and failed to close the notorious detention camp at Guantanamo Bay.
Congress should be buy righting the wrongs of the past six years.
