a guardian recap of the same questions tht prompted the thread, with a bit more context.
you would think that this kind of recourse to the features of martial law by the mayberry machiavellians would seriously hamper any attempt to spin american occupation or actions as being geared toward "democracy" in any meaningful sense.
what i find most curious in the conservative defenses of the bush people here is that this problem seems not to bother them. following a kind of crackhead legalism, the arguments are being floated that the suspension of the most basic legal/human rights in the name of the "war on terror" is not only legal, but just dandy. you even have mojo making kafkaesque arguments about the Law being drawn to the Guilty....one result is that i have no idea of the conception of "freedom" the right actually endorses.
