will, they decided on an "offshore prison" they said was extra territorial....outside the jurisdiction of US courts. It's purpose was as a "fear prop"....designed to be filled with what Cheney called, "bad actors"....to be held up to us in all of the linked declarations inluded in my two posts back, post.
They reasoned that their fear card would be more effectively played if they could refer to hundreds of "terrorists captured on the battlefield".....and all of their elaborate "we'll provide the fear to justify the power grab", worked great for Bush and Cheney....so well that democratic leaders Rockefeller and Hoyer were reported on sunday in Wapo to be nearing a FISA "reform" compromise that will give the white house everything it demanded....electronic surveillance with no authorization by a judge based on examination of evidence to justify it.....probable cause. Mojo's side doesn't care if the whole fear presentation is contrived, false, or intended as a power grab. They know that moving toward government by unaccountable, "decider" executive will "make us safe"....we won't lose the city Newt is worried about losing....we just lose the entire country instead, served up, to the decider, by the legislative majority.....unless this 5 to 4 supreme court split is still there, to rule against the coming power grab laws, like the FISA "reform".
