	Pelosi in New Rush to Fund Genocide

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) today said that the House will vote as early
as Friday on legislation that would spend $50 billion on the wars in 
Iraq and Afghanistan but require that President Bush start bringing 
troops home." AP reports:

The bill would set the requirement that troop withdrawals begin
immediately and that soldiers and Marines spend as much time at home as
they do in combat.

The measure also sets a goal that combat end by December 2008. After 
that, troops left behind should be restricted to a narrow sets of 
missions, namely counterterrorism, training Iraqi security forces and 
protecting U.S. assets [I.E., THE BUSH ADMIN POSITION --CGE].

...Pelosi said the bill also would require that the government rely on 
an Army field manual when conducting interrogations. The field manual 
makes no mention of waterboarding, a harsh technique that simulates 
drowning and is believed to have been used by the CIA.
