What we have here is a lack of trust

You know, I voted for Bush twice. I didn't like his foreign policy, especially his war, but I considered him better than his opponents. Perhaps I was wrong. Bush has just reinterated his support for the doctrine of pre-emptive strikes. This is not sane foreign policy. I also disagree with how the Jose Padilla case was handled. If you can charge a man with a crime, then do it. If not, set him free. End of story. I am appalled by the almost complete lack of regard that this administration has for liberty and justice. Unless something radically changes, the Republican party has lost my vote for the foreseeable future.

Update: In an interesting twist, Iran is backing down and indicating that it wants to open talks with the US on it's nukes.
