GEORGE SHRINKS NOT:
Bush's controversial decisions to be back in spotlight in 9/11 case (Steven Lee Myers, February 12, 2008, IHT)
Harsh interrogations and Guantánamo Bay, secret prisons and warrantless eavesdropping, the war against Al Qaeda and the one in Iraq. On issue after issue, President George W. Bush has shown little indication that he will shrink from the most controversial decisions of his tenure.With the decision to charge six Guantánamo detainees with the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, and to seek the death penalty for the crimes, many of those issues will now be back in the spotlight. In an election year, that appears to be exactly where Bush wants the focus to be.
Why would he hide a rebuke to his opposition? Posted by Orrin Judd at February 12, 2008 8:39 AM

Bush just loves those election years, doesn't he? The "principled" congress people have to bend over for fear of voters' wrath. Then after the elections they complained how the moron made them do it.
