Q:  Do you support the Constitution and form of government of the United States?

Reaction every time I see this question: "Yes, but it's a shame the government doesn't."

He (well, the AG, but the AG is the president's lawer) has repeatedly argued that the Bush can detain American citizens arested on American soil as long as he wants without charges or any other sort of due process, and torture them. So yes, I'd say he's violated his oath.

Not to mention fighting wars he hasn't the authority to declare, and ... well.... choir, preach, yadda yadda.

Interesting reading, indeed, and very clearly set out.

http://glenngreenwald.blogspot.com/ has some good analysis of things too.

This country needs for Bush to be shot, after a fair trial. Though I kind of like the idea of him being chassed down by a mob like the Albanian dictator.

In counterpoint, [livejournal.com profile] radarrider just pointed at this (http://www.investors.com/editorial/IBDArticles.asp?artsec=20&artnum=1&issue=20060224).

I find myself asking, "Why did they wait until now to release them?" And a not particularly small, rather cynical voice replies, "It probably took them until now to convincingly fabricate the tapes."

Well, I never had a doubt that he wanted them, and that as soon as he had a chance he would start up his programs again. Also note that every repulican guard division thought it was another division that had the WMDs, though in fact none had them. Iraq was the same mess of lies that the USSR devolved into, so just because people said things in his office doesn't mean they happend.

I have wondered why he hasn't been making TV commercials here. He's free, and on some Arabic networks.
