Yea, but I just view that as Bush taking those actions because at least in theory, no actions should be taken unless Bush supports them.

Since the legislators who signed the Patriot Act into law didn't even understand it, I wonder if the conventional media analysts can understand it.

I am sure they all got summaries from their attorneys. I don't know if you ever tried to read it, but it is impossible to understand what that law provides unless 50 other laws are laid out in front of you. It was written that way because I don't think the people backing the law WANTED others in congress to know what the law would do. It was cleverly named and packaged in such a way that only a godless-communist could vote against it. It was a bill of goods and while some parts are necessary and good for the country, most assault the Constitution.

He definitely has a interesting view of reality. He seems to believe that only idiots don't see the world through the same lens he looks through.

Remember when CNN used to actually be the first place to go for news? When's the last time you ever saw breaking news on CNN?

The First Gulf war.
