Incalculable Damage:
"(The Bush) administration has quietly taken the view that waterboarding could actually be consistent with a ban on cruel, degrading and inhumane treatment. Now Gen. Hayden refuses in public to forswear the use of such barbaric treatment. The damage done by such silence to America's global standing and long-term interests is incalculable."

Incompetent, Corrupt, AND Unpopular ... Trifecta?
"It's not just the way he's doing his job. Americans apparently don't like President Bush personally much anymore, either ... Six public polls in recent weeks showed ... that Bush's personal approval ratings have dropped since he was re-elected in 2004."

Bush Wants Police State:
"Bush's plan to deploy 6,000 National Guard troops to the Mexican border ... is a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, a law established after the Civil War that prohibits the use of U.S. troops for domestic law enforcement. Passed in 1878 to prohibit federal troops from running elections in the former confederate states, it is considered a bulwark against the development of a police state."
