bzarcherBush Administration seeks retroactive war crimes protection.
Now, last time the Executive Branch tried to say that if it commited a crime, and then signed in a law that stated that what it did was legal, a crime was never committed, the Supreme Court stomped on it with the fury of a thousand badgers, and Congress spooled up Impeachment procedings rather quickly, leading to the resignation of Richard Millhouse Nixon.
Keep an eye on this one, kids.
(For the record, I am praying that this is stopped before it goes beyond a draft. Unfortunately, I do not have confidence in that happening.)
