"It's very broad, it's very significant, and it's a slam."

Ouch. And that's a Bush administration lawyer talking. Here's more on the rebuke to the administration's broad interpretation of its own powers. Bush will likely go to congress seeking approval for the military tribunals. LAT's Rosa Brooks thinks yesterday's Supreme Court ruling could open the door to war-crimes prosecutions of US officials.

*Blink*

Did I just see the world's most respected journal of international diplomacy bring up the spectre of seeing the President and Vice President of the United States doing a perp walk at The Hague?

Phew. There are quiet rumblings of great powers in movement happening right now, gang, and we will never see even the tip of the iceberg. Pick any secret-society ancient-brotherhood conspiracy theory you like; or none at all. You don't really need one; the Bush family has powerful and well-connected adversaries, even in broad daylight. This should be exceedingly interesting.
