DR dB - I am not necessarily supportive of "the anarchists."
However, I am curious as to what you feel should be done to those who illegally authorize the surveillance of American citizens, who authorize the breaking of the Geneva Convention and the torture of prisoners, who neglect American victims of the largest natural disaster in US history, who have politicized the Justice Department beyond all recognition, and who flout Congress through the spurious and unprecendented use of "signing statements"?
These issues are still working their way through the court system, but in brief:
I think the government should have unlimited acess to monitor electronic communications.
The Geneva convention does not apply to non-uniformed irregulars captured on a battlefield - we are not technical at war, so there are no POWs.
The Katrina mess was just poor management - not criminal conduct; more than enough blame to go around.
Most members of the Justice department serve at the will of the President - he doesn't need a reason to not renew an appointment.
I'll pass on signing statements and torture.
