Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas, and why? |

America was founded as a Christian nation, heck, even our money says "in God we trust on it". We were asked to take prayer out of public schools and did so. We were asked to recognize other citizen's religions/ holidays and did so. Why are they asking us to not recognize the Christian holiday of Christmas by just saying "happy holidays"? All over the US, happy holidays is turning up on banners in stores & schools.
So I ask this question: Happy Holidays or Merry Christmas, and why?

"Obama Team Considers Changes To Interrogation Policy" |

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Eric Holder, President-elect Barack Obama's nominee for attorney general, met Wednesday with 12 retired generals and admirals to discuss changing the U.S. government's current interrogation and detention policies.
President-elect Barack Obama has called for the closure of the military facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
All 12 retirees have been critical of the Bush administration's endorsement of enhanced interrogation techniques, including highly controversial practices such as waterboarding.
They have instead urged the adoption of a single -- and less controversial -- standard of interrogation and detainment across all intelligence and other agencies.
Holder was joined at the meeting by prominent Washington lawyer Greg Craig, Obama's choice for White House counsel, and Mary De Rosa, a member of Obama's national security transition team.
The meeting was requested by the New York-based group Human Rights First.
"It is (important that) the new president say up front that the United States is not going to engage in torture or enhanced interrogations," retired Rear Adm. John Hutson, one of the participants in the meeting, said during an appearance on "CNN Newsroom."
Not only are such techniques generally ineffective, Hutson said, but they also "smear the good name of the United States, domestically and internationally."

Hutson also indicated that some of the inmates currently housed at the military detention facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, "should be treated like any other criminal" and tried in a U.S. district court.
During the presidential campaign, Obama indicated his intention to close the Guantanamo Bay detention facility and re-examine the Bush administration's policies relating to the interrogation and torture of suspected terrorists.
"I have said repeatedly that I intend to close Guantanamo, and I will follow through on that," Obama said during a recent appearance on CBS's "60 Minutes."
"I have said repeatedly that America doesn't torture. I'm going to make sure that we don't torture. Those are part and parcel of an effort to regain America's moral stature in the world."

The girl had wounds to her neck, arm and rib.
Torres, who has been charged twice in the past with assault, faces

"Aubrey O'Day has gone from wearing skankerrific clothes to get attention...to not wearing clothes at all to get attention. TMZ spies say the Danity Kane has-been spent all day at a Manhattan photo studio doing a spread for Playboy, and we're told hotshot photog Markus Klinko was the guy who had to look at her naked body all day through the lens. We're hearing there may be cats involved in the shoot -- meaning actual lion cubs, not what you're thinking."
