So True

"As in so many areas, Mr. Bush believes that whatever he thinks is necessary must be lawful, whether it be domestic surveillance by NSA, or torture, or denying the Guantanamo Bay detainees both the protections of the Geneva Convention and the writ of habeas corpus, or disregarding the United Nations Security Council, or his unconscionable detentions of American citizens, like Hamdi and Padilla. As in so many areas, Mr. Bush believes that whatever he thinks is necessary must be lawful. King George is a man of action, not of thought; he is a man of faith, not of law. This is a serious and growing problem for this nation." - University of Chicago law professor Geoffrey Stone
