Bush signed it into law today – the Military Commissions Act…
“…the legislation allows President Bush or Donald Rumsfeld to declare anyone — US citizen or not — an enemy combatant, lock them up and throw away the key without a chance to prove their innocence in a court of law. In other words, every thing the Founding Fathers fought the British empire to free themselves of was reversed and nullified with the stroke of a pen, all under the guise of the War on Terror.”
It also states that ‘waterboarding‘ is an acceptable interrogation practice. Ironically, one which the US itself condemned at the end of World War 2 as being unlawful.
