The Immunity Presidency

Mon Oct 29, 2007 at 04:50:15 PM PDT

Scooter Libby's sentence commuted.

Telecom companies who let the government spy on you immunized.

The MCA immunizes military and intelligence operatives who tortured prisoners in Guantanamo and secret sites around the world off.

The Office of the Vice President exempts itself from secrecy standards.

The White House Information Office exempted from the Freedom of Information Act. (Hi, it's irony calling, from beyond the grave.)

And now... Blackwater.

Gosh, but that's an awful lot of immunity for a law n' order preznit.
