Brushfires of Freedom

 
I have, for the past 35 years, expressed my grave concern for the future of America. The course we have taken over the past century has threatened our liberties, security and prosperity. In spite of these long-held concerns, I have days—growing more frequent all the time—when I’m convinced the time is now upon us that […]

The Supreme Court once again ruled that Guantanamo detainees have rights under the constitution. I get the distinct impression that President Bush is trying to run out the clock on this one.
