"Holding a sign that said “Hillary Democrat for McCain Palin,” one woman was visibly excited by the encounter, clutching her chest and bouncing up and down after a hug from McCain and Palin.

The other attended a house party in Detroit for McCain last week and described herself as a left wing independent, who supported Dennis Kucinich for president during the primary season.

But she said at the time that she liked McCain’s opposition to torture during interrogations on prisoners.

Before leaving for the rally at Freedom Hill in Sterling Heights, the Republicans stopped off at the Renaissance Center in Detroit to pick up the endorsement of the Fraternal Order of Police, an organization of more than 325,000 law enforcement officers around the nation. The group is holding a national meeting in Detroit this week.

"This has been a long and hard campaign," said FOP president Chuck Canterbury. "And it will only get harder but we pledge that we will be there for you and the governor."

While the group wouldn’t reveal the vote total for the endorsement, Ken Starrs, a national trustee for the FOP from Texas, said it was more than a two-thirds majority.
"Each state gets a vote and in Texas, we decided that experience is what we wanted,” Starrs said.

McCain and Palin greeted the law enforcement officers, stopping to take pictures and chat with members of the group.

"Governor, you're a breath of fresh air," said Cherie Hunter of Oxford. "I have a child with disabilities, and I think you're going to do a wonderful job,""

Why, is McCain president?

[Soundbear]

You ARE expecting him to win, aren't you???

[GenX]

Barry, is McCain president right now?

[Soundbear]

You ARE expecting him to win, aren't you???

[GenX]

No. I want him to win, I'm not expecting him to win.

[Soundbear]

How bizarre is that.

YOU don't expect him to win, but I do.

Interesting.

You know nothing about the Electoral College, that's why. The EC is stacked heavily against McCain. He'd need to run the board on some key states, and it probably isn't going to happen.

So unless Obama supports torture, it should stop.

Good.

You didn't care about torture when Saddam did it to innocent civilians. It's kinda' strange you are against it when it is used on terrorists.

[Soundbear]

One more thing.

While the USA is stopping the support of torture, perhaps they could be more careful about sending citizens of other countries to where they WILL be tortured.

Thanks.

"Developments this week, including a federal government report and a newspaper exposé, have established irrefutably that the claims of Stephen Harper and his Conservative government that they were not aware that prisoners transferred to Afghan authorities by the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) were being tortured, or worse, are utterly false.

On Wednesday the Globe and Mail published excerpts of a document prepared by Canadian diplomats in Kabul that informs the government that prisoners in the custody of Afghan authorities face the possibility of abuse, torture and extra-judicial execution.

The government had initially denied the existence of such a document, stating in writing that “no such report on human-rights performance in other countries exists.” The Globe and Mail subsequently used the access of information law to force the government to turn over a copy of the report, which is titled “Afghanistan 2006: Good Governance, Democratic Development and Human Rights.” But the report given the Globe had been heavily censored. In the name of “national security,” numerous passages depicting the deplorable human rights situation in Afghanistan and the violation of basic civil liberties by Afghan authorities were blacked out.

The Globe was able, however, to obtain a more complete version of the report, apparently as the result of a leak. The censored passages included the assertions that ““Extrajudicial executions, disappearances, torture and detention without trial are all too common” and that “the overall human rights situation in Afghanistan deteriorated in 2006.”"
