And yet another insider blows the whistle on Bush, Cheney

Ex-Powell aide rips Bush on Iraq, detainees
"Wilkerson says White House, Pentagon argued president is ‘all-powerful’"

Is Bush above the law, above all laws?

"Cheney’s office, Rumsfeld aides and others argued “that the president of the United States is all-powerful, that as commander in chief the president of the United States can do anything he damn well pleases,” Wilkerson said."

"In the field, the United States followed the policies of hard-liners who wanted essentially unchecked ability to detain and harshly interrogate prisoners at Guantanamo Bay and elsewhere, Wilkerson said."
