David Edwards

Keith Olbermann's Friday broadcast on MSNBC featured a long look at the President's contentious Rose Garden press conference on Friday, dubbing it the "Roast Garden," and then pondered whether Bush's urgency to redefine the Geneva Convention had more to do with "covering his own backside" than anything else.

Jonathan Turley on Legal Implications Of Detainee Treatment Act

3. Warrentless Spying, Torture, Secret Prisons,
and Rendition are all Unconstitutional. America is no longer abiding by The US Constitution. The Busholini Regime turn their backsides to it and fart on it.
