Let's see what we have in the hopper today ...

Via the AP [1], here's our first taste of how the Bushies see the imperial
powers vested in them by the Torture Bill, AKA the Military Commissions Act:

Immigrants arrested in the United States may be held indefinitely on
suspicion of terrorism and may not challenge their imprisonment in civilian
courts, the Bush administration said Monday, opening a new legal front in
the fight over the rights of detainees.

In court documents filed with the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in
Richmond, Va., the Justice Department said a new anti-terrorism law being
used to hold detainees in Guantanamo Bay also applies to foreigners captured
and held in the United States.
