David Addington

David Addington and John Yoo are the latest hoofers appearing in the BushCo burlesque, bucking and winging their way through the most recent House Judiciary Committee hearing.

In attempting to prevent a calamity, in matching wits with our despicable opponent, we have abandoned certain restraining principles, and in the process, become a moral monster.

Anyone who knows anything about Islamofascism and/or cable service knows that al-Qaeda hearts C-SPAN, which is one of the few channels you can actually get in Afghani caves.

Hasn't torture always belonged in the same "intrinsically evil" moral category like rape, like slavery? If it's still in that category, the pope surely would have taken a stand on torture, right?

For anyone who's traveled unembedded through Iraq since the U.S. invasion and occupation began five years ago, Andrew Sullivan's warning brings a sad smile of recognition, and a hope that his words will prove prophetic.

According to a new Department of Justice memo, it seems the Bush administration has justified its crimes by not suspending the state of emergency that went up on 9/11.

The Bush administration's decision to choose a child soldier -- the Canadian Omar Khadr -- as its first attempt at a real conviction continues to attract heated opposition.

Sources tell me Addington is waking up each day as energetic and vigorous as ever, determined to wreck the Constitution as much as he can before leaving office.

Tomorrow's hearing is of colossal importance, not only to the detainees in Guantánamo, many of whom are about to start their seventh year of imprisonment without charge or trial, but also to the government.

There are 17 names on my favorite poster. If the Bush administration had not taken this country on the disastrous course it has, just think about the GOP names the poster could have had.

Even the most cursory reading of anything James Madison wrote on the subject of executive power clearly shows that Dick Cheney's expansive views of the powers of the Executive Branch are totally un-American.
