Well, we now have the White House assurting that waterboarding is legal, simply because they say so, and you have our So-Called Attorney General, Michael Mukasey, saying that if the political hacks appointed by Bush and His Evil Minions^™ in the Justice department said that it was OK, then there is no crime, so he will not investigate warrantless wiretapping or torture.

Seriously, these folks really hate most basic founding principal of the Republic, a nation of laws, and not men.
