Confidential Pentagon memo says Bush can set aside laws --WSJ

The Madness of King George, continued

An excerpt from an article in today's Wall Street Journal about a confidential Pentagon memo:

"To protect subordinates should they be charged with torture, the memo advised that Mr. Bush issue a 'presidential directive or other writing' that could serve as evidence, since authority to set aside the laws is 'inherent in the president.' "

And the Watergate is just a hotel in Washington . . .
