The Military Commissions Act is the most disgraceful piece of legislation passed by the Congress since the Kansas-Nebraska Act two centuries ago. It literally defines the dictatorship that today stands over against the American people. One should never forget the hypocracy of John McCain just prior to his selling out to supporters of this legislation in 2006. It was the single most craven act any one has witnessed in politics in many years. In supporting MCA, John McCain made a mockery of every moment he spent in the hands of Viet Minh torturers during his active service. He ought to be booted out of every veteran’s organization to which he belongs.
