Not entirely. Bush was a war freak.
Yeah but completely irrelevant to this thread.
The problem is that each administration is afraid to prosecute the former out of fear of political retribution later on. What does that say about their attitude toward the rule of law as it applies to them? Senator Obama promised the end of Scooter Libby justice..yet that is what his administration has been in summary, now adopted by their "liberal" loyalists. So dissapointing. And it started by him not prosecuting the Bush administration. The buck needs to stop here. I mean "retroactive immunity" for telecommunication companies that violated federal statutes? Are you fucking kidding me?
Are you aware that the 2012 NDAA, which Obama signed, codified "indefinite military detention without charge or trial into law for the first time in American history. The NDAA's dangerous detention provisions would authorize the president — and all future presidents — to order the military to pick up and indefinitely imprison people captured anywhere in the world, far from any battlefield. The ACLU will fight worldwide detention authority wherever we can, be it in court, in Congress, or internationally."
