Amnesty International: Hamdan v. Rumsfeld Action Letter Campaign
From the Amnesty International Online Action Center...their latest campaign against torture.
On June 29, the Supreme Court ruled that Common Article 3 of the Geneva
Conventions protected detainees in US custody. This ruling reinstates
fundamental human rights protections that the President sought to set aside by
Executive Order. The coming months will be critical in determining how the Bush
Administration implements the Court’s decision. Urge the government not to gut
these important safeguards through omissions or legislation.

Yay Amnesty! You rock! etc.
Heathlander, sign me up for 12 midnight and 12:30.
wicked! Done and done.
I'm through the worst of it now, I think. It's 5:08 AM for me here, so soon it will be daylight, and I find it impossible to sleep during the day.
I'll do 1 am.
What is this Mountain Dew you keep going on about? It sound like a magical elixir or something.
All I've got is a bottle of Diet Coke in the fridge.
My fat butt got an A in my health class. Mountain Dew and Dr. Pepper have the most caffeine.
I know Jolt Cola has the most, but I didn't include it in the above paragraph because I'd classify that as "liquid crack".
BTW the heat's getting to me. I blogged about it here but I should be fine.
:)
I was advised, as a lest resort, to put a couple of spoonfuls of coffee powder on a hot spoon, wait till it goes gooey, and quickly down it followed by a glass of water.
Needless to say, I haven't got that desperate yet...
You guys rock!

Wow, benzine, tartrazine, caffeine and brominated vegatable oil (banned in 100 countries) all in one drink!
