WHAT A WEEK
The Supreme Court heard arguments yesterday about whether U.S. citizens may be imprisoned without trial or legal representation if they're declared by the little fucker to be "enemy combatants" in the war on terror.
The righter-than-rightwing editorial page of The Wall Street Journal warned the court not to let its "sense of its own importance" lead it to believe "it can do a better job of running the war on terror than an elected chief executive." Elected? How about appointed? I didn't hear the Journal complaining about the court's self-importance back then, when the same court did the appointing.
The 9/11 commission hears today what he and his crony in chief have to say to justify how they screwed up the war on terror from the moment they took office.
White House Counsel Alberto Gonzales likes the fact that there will be < EM>no verbatim account of the 9/11 commission's meeting in the Oval Office with the little fucker and his crony in chief. After all, it's the little fucker who insisted on that condition in the first place, and we all know how desperate he is to get to the bottom of things. Or as Gonzales blithely told CNN, "information will make ... its way into the [commission] report in some fashion or another, I suspect." How nice.
Meantime, 10 more U.S. soldiers have died today in the little fucker's war of choice.
