(Oct. 11, 2007)
Former US president Jimmy Carter last night told CNN the US tortured prisoners in violation of international law, following an assertion last week from George Bush that the US "does not torture".

A black female wearing a red jacket calling a Russ a jew on Fox. What's next?
Luckily she didn't point out she was wearing a red jacket - as if it was supposed to mean something. But she pointed out that Feingold is a Jew - as if it's supposed to mean something.
There is subtle meaning in everything,most understand that red is a power color especially for women.
As far as I know this is the first time anyone has attempted to sensationalize on his religious background.
I grew up with Russ from grade school, we were in the same graduating class. He was always a leader, no one ever called him a Jew.-as if it's supposed to mean something.
We've progressed into poverty.
