Will's article is the work of a legal illiterate. It is a card-castle of factual and legal misrepresentations. It is Will's argument that we can kill al Qaeda, we just can't listen to their phone calls, because that would be monarchical and dictatorial, and be a constitutional crisis, yada, yada.
Well, we got a two-fer with that guy we smoked in Yemen with the Predator. We were listening to his phone call when we sent a Hellfire up his butt. Which was worse, George?
What say some of those hellfires cut loose in Newark, Lackawana and Hamtramack? "It's war" donchaknow, and therefore within executive prerogative.
Agreed though, that Will is a legal illiterate.
