New and Improved Comments

We are launching a major overhaul of our comments section.

In addition to more robust spam filtering and moderation, new features include the ability to rate other comments, sort how they are displayed and respond directly via e-mail or in a thread.

Unfortunately, commenters will lose their existing Truthdig identities. It's a pain, we know, but on the plus side you will now be able to log in with a plethora of options, including Google, Twitter, Facebook and Disqus accounts.

Before launching this system we spent months in discussion with our top commenters. We listened to the feedback and we hope you like what we've come up with.

Please direct any problems or concerns to us via our contact page.

I just read that new legislation always the US military
to detain US civilians indefinitely without due process.

‘’. . . and you know somethings happening
but you don’t know what it is, do you Mr. Jones.’’

Robert Scheer is absolutely correct. The Constitution
supercedes any other argument out there. And while the
people may have lost the battle we damn well better win
the war regarding the First Amendment.

Without First Amendment Rights you cannot have a
democracy since it is the basis of it.
