. . . but it would not surprise me.
Hi,
It is in line with the attitudes and actions of the administration and its supporters.
They have replaced all their science advisers with "yes men".
They have used the events of 9/11 to cause any opposition to *their* policy to be branded "unpatriotic".
They have worked outside constitutional constraints (right to face the accusers, right to counsel, right to a speedy trial, even right of habeas corpus) in a number of incidents involving *suspected* terrorists.
When a group is sure that god is on their side, why should they obey the laws of man?
BTW, allow me to be anal:
"Treason doth never prosper; whatâs the reason?
For if it prosper, none dare call it treason."

For years I had mistakenly attributed it to Alexander Pope, since it has a "Pope-ish" air to it. Not too long ago I was called on it and discovered my long standing mistake ;)
