The Legal Framework for the War on Terrorism
http://thedianerehmshow.org/shows/2006-10-25/legal-framework-war-terrorism
The Bush administration's response to 9/11 included a review of the executive's powers under the law to conduct domestic surveillance, detain and interrogate enemy combatants, and many other matters. An attorney who was involved in that process explains what went into that review and the administration's decisions, and why he believes they were the right choices for the country.
