Some Republican Senators will be opposing the President’s legislation concerning military tribunals and the Geneva Convention. Even Collin Powel, former Secretary of State under President Bush, has asked congressional leaders to kill the bill. Republican Senators John McCain, John Warner and Lindsey Graham are bringing their own competing measure to the table.
Next week will likely be the showdown in Congress over these two competing bills. While both pieces of legislation allow for the detention of people from around the world as enemy combatants, the President’s bill goes further. The Administration’s bill would allow “outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment.”
This concerns John McCain, a former POW during the Vietnam War. McCain believes that this may open the door to other nations doing the same thing to American prisoners. If America mistreats its prisoners, American soldiers are in danger of the same, or worse. An Editorial in the New York Times suggests that what the President really wants is Congressional authority to keep on doing things to prisoners in C.I.A. jails that are clear violations of international rules.

Mesothelioma is a grave and uncommon sickness, caused by sustained and persistent exposure and breathing in of the asbestos fibers rampantly used in most industries till early 1980s. It is the cancer of the Mesothelioma layer, a protective sac that encloses some major organs in the human body.
The Calamity:
Sadly the fact remains that the disease of Mesothelioma is diagnosed only in the final stages and remains incurable at that time. The fat is further psychologically worsened by the fact that it was caused by pure carelessness and avoiding using proper preventive covering and precautions. The risk has been made evident by research since the 1920s, but the corporations that had the risk never encouraged use of these precautions. These facts bring to light a simple hope of compensation that a victim could be eligible for in the darkness of this disease that ends in death.
