The Bush/Cheney Administration has institutionalized the most egregious extralegal executive abuses in our nation's history. As matters of policy, they've launched a war of aggression under false pretenses, violated the most basic human right treaties, trashed the Fourth Amendment, denied the right of habeas corpus to citizens and non-citizens alike, set up secret prisons, disappeared their presumed opponents around the world, tortured the innocent and presumed guilty alike, conducted sham military tribunals against the underage and the mentally ill, and, worst of all, claimed the power to indefinitely detain anyone in the world, including U.S. citizens, without any external check whatsoever. And that's just the stuff they have admitted to.Thank you, William.
So succinct.
