This is amazing
The president has already said he'll veto any bill that attempts to regulate U.S. treatment of detainees.:
The Bush administration, under fire for the indefinite detention of enemy combatants at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba and questions over whether its policies led to horrendous abuses at Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, put lawmakers on notice it did not want them legislating on the matter.Because, apparently, Congress is no longer responsible for making laws. Not while the entire country is a battlefield, no sirree. We'll all march to the orders of our Commander-in-Chief, yes we will.
In a statement, the White House said such amendments would "interfere with the protection of Americans from terrorism by diverting resources from the war."
"If legislation is presented that would restrict the president's authority to protect Americans effectively from terrorist attack and bring terrorists to justice," the bill could be vetoed, the statement said.

Ok I cant find it, what is "amazing"? That the executive branch has a check on the legislative, or that the president would veto something he didn't like. Is politics a mystery to you?
For sneaketroll: Is fascism a mystery to you?
For Ms. Biscuit: Congratulations, you have arrived, there is an idiot reading your blog!
I didn't realize fascism was built into the constitution. "Fascism" doesnt mean 'doing stuff you dont like'.
"Government of the people, by the people" We the people are not mega-corp, mega-church and certainly not the 'treasonweasels' that presently have occupied our Whitehouse ..........
I'm just pointing out there is nothing "amazing" about this at all, its just the outward appearance of the game of politics being played between two opposing parties.
I am amazed at how I was responded to by insults and slogans, I thought Amy would know more thoughtful people.
"We'll all march to the orders of our Commander-in-Chief, yes we will."
Not quite correct here, as a lobster, I for one will crawl or swim.
