But that's the whole discussion! The Bush administration has argued that it can essentially do anything it likes to US citizens "in a time of war" for it defines as always and forever. The the funny part is, the whole AQ-isn't-covered-by-the-GC-non-state-actors thing works both ways: then we're not at war. In short we're in a new legal grey zone that the Bush administration interpreted as we-can-do-whatever-we-want. Obama has assigned it 100% to his Justice department for definition first. In short they'll let the analysis determine the answer rather than determine that answer and then make the analysis fit it. And hopefully the first thing done will be to put John Yoo in prison as part our war on legal terror. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:286693 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
