White House Drafts Executive Order to Allow Indefinite Detention of Terror Suspects (Dafna Linzer and Peter Finn, 6/26/09, Washington Post)
The Obama administration, fearing a battle with Congress that could stall plans to close Guantanamo, has drafted an executive order that would reassert presidential authority to incarcerate terrorism suspects indefinitely, according to three senior government officials with knowledge of White House deliberations.
Such an order would embrace claims by former president George W. Bush that certain people can be detained without trial for long periods under the laws of war.

Works for me.
(Yes, I'm against amnesty too. Never been a "single-issue"--any single issue-- voter.)
Right, the country’s been a wreck since that one passed.</sarc>

Obama is Bush’s 3rd term.
