According to Bush, Cheney, Mukasey, et. al., we already are, FYS.
Following the 'Yoo Doctrine', in time of war, plenipotentiary power rests with the executive branch, answerable to no one, not even to Congress or the Supreme Court. Look at Guantanamo, the acts of extraordinary renditioning, the illegal warrantless NSA wiretaps, Valerie Plame, the jailing of Judith Miller, ad infinitum, ad nauseum...

Yet another sample of how America is loosing itself.
Americans need to pay less attention to their bathroom decor and more attention to what's going on in the world. Before we know it, we will be under dictatorial rule.

Who cares, majestic. We lose 44,000 jobs -- some of them generated
by this contract, most of them extant -- but we gain 2000? That sounds like good ole American business know-how to me. Congress does need to investigate this latest stupidity. They'll probably find a scandal just as bad as the Boeing one that has got McCain in the cross-hairs again...

Would that that were true, Soul Builder...
With me, sarcasm will get you everywhere.

I did hear about this, and it would be nice if an American co got the contract. I guess we can look at the positive side too though, this will bring jobs to Alabama in the US in the final stages of the project.

Common sense does seem so common at the top!
