Dickey--

Any student of history knows that FDR tried to pack the Supreme Court, and that Lincoln suspended habeas corpus. However it is clear that Lincoln only did it during a specific national emergency--not an amorphous--and by definition endless- "war on terror".

Bush thinks the "war on terror" gives him carte blanche to do anything. He needs to be disabused of this error. And anybody who still supports him needs to wake up.

As I've said before, it pays to dig beneath the surface. You may want to try it sometime.
