JURIST - Cohn: A Double Standard on Torture
Quote:
While trying to convince the American people in his State of the Union address that war with Iraq is necessary, President George W. Bush marshaled accusations that Saddam Hussein has tortured his people to coerce confessions. Yet in the same speech, Bush sanctioned extrajudicial killings by the United States. He said that more than 3,000 suspected terrorists had been arrested but many others had met a "different fate," so they would no longer cause us problems.
The executive flaunts the law with impunity.

There is nothing to restrain the President's power but public opinion... and that is artfully manipulated...

We live in a former Republic, now devolved to Empire.
