"Did it ever occur to you once, that in just 27 months and two days from now when you leave office, some irresponsible future President and a "competent tribunal" of lackeys would be entitled, by the actions of your own hand, to declare the status of "Unlawful Enemy Combatant" for… and convene a Military Commission to try… not John Walker Lindh, but George Walker Bush?"
good rant but...
to assume george w. bush is the author of all of this is VERY short-sighted.
also there are pinochet-like bits and pieces in this legislation to ensure no further prosecution i have heard - though i haven't read the whole legislation.
