Sadly, neither Democrats nor Republicans like the idea of being held accountable, one of the reasons this has completely stalled. The power members of either party have far more in common with each other than they do with us.

Scary stuff...

I liked the bit at the end:
"_a new independent inspector general for the government's intelligence agencies to improve coordination and information-sharing. Bush said the position was unnecessary."

...so if the fbi/cia/etc do discover details of a terrorist plot they dont actually have to tell anyone or do anything!

The UK had this problem about 100 years ago with MI5, MI6, and naval intelligence; with the formation of GCHQ as the result.
What was that proverb about learning from others?

Your president is a strange man.

Strange is one word you could use to describe him.

I don't see how this is a "war crime". Congress passed a bill, W exercised his right to veto it, and now Congress can, if they wish, override the veto. Isn't that how it's supposed to work?

Torture is in violation of Geneva Conventions, Bush approves and admits to using torture.
