"No, Senator, we're not," Mr. Rumsfeld replied. "We're not looking for any long-term or short-term change with respect to Posse Comitatus."

No, "we" want it to stay on the books just as it is. We just want carte blanche to ignore it when "we" feel like it. I mean, our guys will be in power forever, right?

Yep the next DEM POTUS is gonna have a field day with all the new abuses of power this administration has dreamed up and made a way for. The sad part is the GOP by allowing it is taking away any arguement to stop it once the beast is out of the box. When GWB goes out of office and when a DEM goes in the sheeple will realize just how much they have allowed government to take over. Then it may be too late. How can they cry foul when they cheered it on for all the years Bush was in office setting it up? Never ever pass any new law or create any new government position or office without first considering seriouslly the dangers it holds and leads too in our nations future.

If this article is accurate, then President Bush will never get another vote from me. The same for any senator or representative who votes for this, if it's an accurate report.

We'll soon see what the truth is.
