#1 Mind you, Bush isn't saying much here. (The dispute is about what the law IS here, not whether he's authorized lawlessness.)

Not that the press understands stuff like, you know, the Constitution. Their mangling of the Geneva Convention should tell you all you need to know about journalistic training in law (none).

#2 Actually, you would be surprised about what jouranlists know. Many of them are law school grads, particularly those in the major papers, so they KNOW they law. They want to change the law so Americans can be murdered more easily.

See, when you have an agenda, and you care so little about our national security, you are willing to place military people in mortal danger in order to make political points; you get some sense of what journalists know.

I call it enforced stupidity.

#3 At a couple of the leftist blogs I keep an eye on, they're using this as evidence that it's all a sham, their reasoning being that "no one ever writes a memo or gives an order to make sure that the underlings stay within the law. It's just always assumed that you'll stay within the law."

This is the sort of breath-taking stupidity from the left that makes me guffaw.

What???? It's hard for me to believe this happening. Perhaps, there are a few lawyers who submit articles to WSJ or NYT on legal issues, but I cannot believe there are too many full time journalists who graduated from law school.

#6 Rex: there are a handful of lawyers in the newspaper newsrooms. But most of them cover the courts and legal system.

I underscore the words: handful.
