Keith Olbermann Tells George Bush What a Fascist He Is

MSNBC's Keith Olbermann has, once again, become a pundit worthy of being lauded among such great men as Bill Moyers and Edward R. Murrow as he calls our attention to the national travesty that is the new Military Commissions Act. This act allows the government to suspend Habeas Corpus for anyone who is considered an "unlawful enemy combatant."

Now, with a government who publicly states that anyone who criticizes this regime (it's no longer just an administration, it's truly a regime now) is "providing aid and comfort to our enemies", who's to say just who is and isn't an "unlawful enemy combatant?"

And here's another thought: considering that the UN invoked international law to forbid the invasion of Iraq and we did it anyway, doesn't that make George W. Bush and his regime "unlawful combatants?" So should they have their Habeas Corpus suspended?

I'm looking forward to watching the ACLU challenge this one on Constitutional grounds. Article One, Section Nine of that esteemed document states:

"The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it."

The last I saw, we weren't being invaded by anyone. And we're not in an open rebellion. So this act should die an ignoble death fairly quickly.

But thank you, Mr. Olbermann, for calling America's attention to this travesty. We now have complete confirmation just how George W. Bush feels about America and the Constitution that HE SWORE to uphold and defend.
