the lack of due process in the proposals floating about in bushland are far more damaging to the american cause politically than would be parallel kinds of moves that included due process.
for example, the lack of due process shoots any connection between american actions and meaningful democracy to hell because--well, the reasons should be obvious.
if you combine an internal disregard for due process with anything like an analysis of the iraq war--which would lead you straight to a disconnect between that war and any coherent action against "terrorism"----then the political situation gets even worse.
what the two seem to converge on is the kind of arrogance that is proper to only the most uninformed, inept exercize of power.
i do not understand what information the administration is looking at that enables it to understand its cause being advanced by this kind of thing.
