Bush Directly Authorized Use Of Waterboarding, Still Rejects 'Torture' Classification In New Book

You are either for the rule of law or you're not.



For a president of the United States not to equally apply the law to all people, presidents, too, means that the grand experiment is over.



Not prosecuting BushCo is destroying the country. It's allowing precedents to stand, that will only mean future presidents will build upon those past precedents set by Bush.



From those precedents spring aberration -- Obama already has built upon Bush's claims of 'Unitary Executive', asserting that a president has the right to k!ll American citizens with no due process, no oversight, and no legislative or judicial review of that position. Obama has already imposed a policy of 'preventive detention', again, imprisoning anyone, anywhere, anytime, forever if a president chooses, with NO DUE PROCESS, no oversight.



How any Democrat defends that is beyond my understanding.



Bush happened because of the pardoning of Nixon. The Nixon pardon happened because of Cheney & Rumsfeld. These are not just disconnected events. These people have been up to mischief for a long while. They never got over Watergate & their fall from grace. They never believed they did anything wrong.



Running from these facts isn't going to make the Nixon-Reag an-Bush-Ch eney-GOP-C onservativ es behave, or go away. Waiting them out, until they d!e, isn't going to end it -- They've raised & trained an army of 'true believers' to carry on after they're gone.
