When I began this blog in 2001, I was appalled by President Bush's headlong rush to an illegal war (we were not in fact under attack). As time wore on and Bush began his assault on the Constitution and any people bold enough to criticize, I believed that "the republic is endangered more by actions of our own government than by those of any terrorist." With the election of a high-minded, compassionate, intelligent man like Barack Obama, my fears have ceased.

U.S. Widens Policy on Detaining Suspects "The Bush administration today announced a major expansion of its power..." N.Y. Times on the Web (requires registration).
He's talking about detaining legal immigrants indefinitely - no habeas corpus here. (If I am taken in for questioning, they have to either charge me with something or let me go within a specified time.) Somebody stop him before it's too late, please.
