    Bush’s Assault On Freedom: What’s To Stop Him? By Paul Craig Roberts July 3, 2006
    On June 29, the U.S. Supreme Court in a 5-3 decision ruled that President Bush’s effort to railroad tortured Guantanamo Bay detainees in kangaroo courts "violates both U.S. law and the Geneva Conventions."
    Better late than never, but it sure took a long time for the checks and balances to call a halt to the illegal and unconstitutional behavior of the executive.
    The Legal Times quotes David Remes, a (…)

    Fitzgerald explained that his investigation should not be interpreted as a vindication of a political point of view. I’d recommend reviewing his October, 2005 press conference.

We know that each source was in a position to know what they were talking about. We know that the office of Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald will (…)
