The Clean Sheet: Sorting things out
BIG NAMES DID NOT DELIVER: A lot of questions will be asked about some of the big names on this squad, and the answers will be tough to ascertain. In two of the three matches, no U.S. player stepped up and really put their imprint on the match. This was especially evident in the Ghana match against a side that should have been beaten in those first 20 minutes. This might sound crazy, but even the Yanks' lone goal was troubling to me. DaMarcus Beasley gets a ball handed to him and gets in behind the defense, then our fastest player pulls up and hits a first-time (albeit world-class) cross? I just can't see the Beasley of old in 2002 doing anything but taking that ball, outrunning everyone, and tucking the ball home. The result was a goal, but the decision told me a lot.

Supreme Court rules against Bush over Guantanamo tribunals
The United States Supreme Court has ruled that President George W. Bush overstepped his authority in denying terror war detainees civilian trials...
The Court has ruled that U.S. detainees--classified by the Bush Administration as "enemy combatants"--cannot be considered exempt from the Geneva Convention. The administration had attempted to argue that the "combatants" had no rights under U.S. or international law, or that only certain rights under each applied.
The Supreme Court disagreed....
The ruling is not likely to result in the release of Hamdan, or other Guantanamo prisoners. In fact, it may result in longer detentions, while the United States attempts to put another system into place.

US v. GHANA
Big game today to say the least!!! We need to win and hope the Italians beat the Czechs. The other scenarios for us to get thru and highly unlikely. All to play for in this group as every team has a chance to go thru.
Greeting from Deutchland!
I am going to the US v ITALY game tonight in Kaiserslautern and I am hoping for a big game from the lads. We'll need it since the Italians are looking very good. Forza Yanks!

White House invokes secrets privilege in eavesdropping cases
A Huge John Negroponte FU to U!
In papers filed late Friday, Justice Department lawyers said it would be impossible to defend the legality of the spying program without disclosing classified information that could be of value to suspected terrorists.
National Intelligence Director John Negroponte invoked the state secrets privilege on behalf of the administration, writing that disclosure of such information would cause "exceptionally grave damage" to national security....
"The Bush administration is trying to crush a very strong case against domestic spying without any evidence or argument," Kadidal said in a written statement. "Can the president tell the courts which cases they can rule on? If so, the courts will never be able to hold the president accountable for breaking the law."
