Flub of the week


Speaking the truth

"The only way accountability doesn't exist is if you believe that the military is not committed to it."
— Tony Snow, White House Press Secretary

I haven't really blogged about it yet, but I find the new law authorizing military trials for terrorism suspects to be frightening.

Not because it expanded the President's power. When Congress authorizes war, the President always gets more power.

No, my concern is because the law now gives the President extensive powers separate from his war powers. Powers that apparently have no legal limit, war or no.
