I suggest we get rid of the current inhabitants of Congress who show no inclination to perform the oversight function of their job:
A little-noticed provision in President Bush’s proposal for the treatment of suspected terrorists would for the first time legally endorse the fight against terrorism as equivalent to war, lawmakers and national security lawyers say….
Critics of the provision, such as former CIA counsel Suzanne Spaulding, said it could amount to a back-door endorsement of the disputed wartime presidential powers that Bush has asserted, potentially strengthening his hand in court battles over the National Security Agency’s warrantless spying and permitting defense and intelligence agencies to launch operations in the United States.
“Does it allow the president to basically define the war on terrorism as broadly or as narrowly as he wants?†said Rep. Adam B. Schiff, a California Democrat. “The answer is yes.â€
Yeah, let’s replace Repubs and Dems with …………other Repubs and Dems.
How come no one ever thought of this before?
