In "January 19, 2009: The One-Day Cheney Presidency, and the Planned Pardon" (November 6, 2007), I predicted that Bush was going to issue a large number of pardons if a Republican did not succeed him. Bush will pardon Cheney, and then resign on January 19th, after which "President" Cheney will issue a garland of pardons including one to George W Bush. Now, it appears as if some such a plan is indeed in the offing. The Bush Administration has invoked Executive Privilege repeatedly to prevent the truth from being revealed on a host of matters, from the lead up to the war, to the firing of the US attorneys, to the misuse of government agencies to support Rove's poltical strategies, to covering up the truth about Pat Tillman's death, to the Valerie Plame case, and most recently to the political prosecution of former Governor Donald Siegelman. "Executive Privilege" does not exist in the Constitution. Indeed, there is no mention of it, but the Supreme Court has inferred it. The pardon power is in the Constitution. Both need re-definition. Otherwise, asserting executive accountability is too difficult, disrespect for the rule-of-law too easy, and punishing criminal activity too unlikely to be a deterrent. Summary of the Amendment: The Pardon power shall not extend to members of the Executive Branch; Executive Privilege claims shall be decided by a Special Panel established by Congress whose decisions shall be rendered within 30 days of t ...

We recently visited the gift shop at the NRA National Firearms Museum, which claims to stock over 500 gun publications, more than any other store in the U.S., and, therefore, most likely, the world.

I am among those who find it counter-intuitive to believe that the Bush Administration's Department of Homeland Security, National Counter Terrorism Center and the State Department are soft on terrorism, as suggested by the Hoekstra Amendment and commentary relating to it . The post states that Americans should interpret the vote as meaningful not because the language in the Amendment might become law, but because it "gets most congressional representatives on the record on their position regarding the efforts of groups to remove any suggestion of Islamic supremacism or Jihad when it comes to 'terrorism.'" The obvious meaning is that the Hoekstra vote has smoked out members of Congress who are soft on terrorism. Just in case anyone fails to get the point, the post lists those who voted against the Amendment, all but one of whom come from the political party to which Congressman Hoekstra does not belong. An alternative view, shared by the Bush Administration and the government of the United Kingdom, among others, recognizes that many Muslims have long considered such words as "jihadist" and "Islamacist" to be slurs that credential terrorists and marginalize moderate Muslims. As U.S. Army General Petraeus wrote in 2005 , in combating terrorism, "cultural awareness is a force multiplier." Some people may disagree, but I would not for a moment suggest that they are soft on terrorism, because their thinking on counter-terrorism, such ...
