That's awesome news. teddy51 Jun 2012 #1

I think so to lovuian Jun 2012 #2

There seem to be allot of things along those lines he doesn't get. teddy51 Jun 2012 #10

There's no reason for him to "get" things that are completely imaginary in the first place. TheWraith Jun 2012 #13

That might be your take on it, but others don't see it that way. teddy51 Jun 2012 #16

how do you explain the Judge's ruling? lovuian Jun 2012 #17

It's explained by part of the NDAA very definitely pertaining to US citizens. nt MannyGoldstein Jun 2012 #22

Funny that at least one judge and several that had a part in writing the thing TheKentuckian Jun 2012 #32

If I wanted to hear lies about lies, I'd just watch Fox News. nt TheWraith Jun 2012 #7

Is it inaccurate if so I'm sorry lovuian Jun 2012 #8

As a rule, Russia Today's accuracy... TheWraith Jun 2012 #12

I agree the headline is crap but the ruling seems to be there lovuian Jun 2012 #14

If the Judge saw a problem with it and stopped it, then there must have been a problem. teddy51 Jun 2012 #25

Wrong. boppers Jun 2012 #76

Part of it certainly does - and it's hideous MannyGoldstein Jun 2012 #19

No, it's not. Sorry, it's one of the best news sources available right now. Although it does sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #58

Complete bullshit. girl gone mad Jun 2012 #69

"Judge Forrest does include in her ruling, however, that Americans can be indefinitely detained" boppers Jun 2012 #73

If the story is in the LA times, why did you use rt.com?...nt SidDithers Jun 2012 #51

If the story is in both, why does it matter? Occulus Jun 2012 #60

Why not? Even Hillary watches RT because 'they are good' she says. It is an excellent news sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #61

He probably just playing with Riftaxe Jun 2012 #63

RT is a far more reliable source than the right leaning LA Times. Why do you have more sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #100

Because the LA Times is Right Wing rag. sabrina 1 Jun 2012 #115

Any comment on the actual story? morningfog Jun 2012 #65
