A Stain on Our Democracy

Today, America's own Fearless Leader signed into the law Presidential powers unlike any ever enacted in our history. With the compliance of a paid-for Congress and an opposition party afraid to make waves, George W. Bush became King.

From today on, any President can arbitrarily deem anyone, even full fledged citizens, "unlawful enemy combatants". This means you can be held indefinitely in secret prisons, tortured and disappeared, without any recourse to law.

Never before has the Constitution being discarded in such a disgraceful manner, all in the name of "protecting our freedoms."
