I read about this on Prez's blog. (Prez has a great Blog for those that lean left, and are completely disgusted by this administration.)

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A split Supreme Court ruled Thursday that drug evidence seized in a home search can be used against a suspect even though police failed to knock on the door and wait a "reasonable" amount of time before entering.
The 5-4 decision continues a string of rulings since the September 11, 2001 terrorist attacks that in general give law enforcement greater discretion to carry out search-and-seizure warrants.

Here I thought we were all presumed innocent until proven guilty? Not knocking, assumes guilt. Even worse is that this isn't being used for terrorism, but drug enforcement. Non violent crimes. What are these people going to do in the two minutes it takes the police to knock and identify themselves? Even if somebody could flush the actual drugs down the drain they couldn't flush the paraphinelia down the toilet. What happens if they break into the wrong house? You know the first time a cop gets killed when somebody thinks a burglar has gotten into the house, and shoots him, that person will be charged. And yet, the first time a child accidently gets killed the police will be exonerated because they were just doing their job. Completely frustrating. I pray it never happens.

I found this on StupidGrins blog. It totally blew me away.

"Well, you know, I'm not saying Saddam Hussein was a good man, but he's no worse than George Bush. Saddam Hussein didn't pull the trigger, didn't commit the rapes. Neither did George Bush, but both men are responsible for them under their reigns of terror.Iraq did not have al Qaeda in it. Al Qaeda supposedly killed my son. Under Saddam Hussein, no al Qaeda. Under George Bush, al Qaeda.

Under Saddam Hussein, relative stability. Under George Bush, instability. Under Saddam Hussein, about 30,000 deaths a year. Under George Bush, about 60,000 deaths a year.I don't get it. Why is it better to have George Bush be the king of Iraq rather than Saddam Hussein?"

This is apparentley the omitted portion of his interview with Soledad O'Brian on June 8th. Gee, I wonder why they omitted it
