Grrrr!

Bush breaks American law, says it's okay since they're at war. The third link there puts in succinctly:

"If the President is allowed to get away with secretly decreeing that he can violate the law and then doing exactly that, then there really are no remaining checks on Executive power -- and we have, without hyperbole, arrived at the very definition of tyranny."

My take on the whole thing is to wonder if Bush only seems bloodthirsty because of what war gives him: an excuse to do whatever the fsck he wants.
