anyhow, i've discovered: always cut and paste a few paragraphs... else the loyalists will never read it, instead of just being highly unlikely to read it...

WASHINGTON - President Bush has quietly claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant, the Daily News has learned.

The President asserted his new authority when he signed a postal reform bill into law on Dec. 20. Bush then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open people's mail under emergency conditions.

That claim is contrary to existing law and contradicted the bill he had just signed, say experts who have reviewed it.

Experts said the new powers could be easily abused and used to vacuum up large amounts of mail.

"The [Bush] signing statement claims authority to open domestic mail without a warrant, and that would be new and quite alarming," said Kate Martin, director of the Center for National Security Studies in Washington.

"The danger is they're reading Americans' mail," she said.

"You have to be concerned," agreed a career senior U.S. official who reviewed the legal underpinnings of Bush's claim. "It takes Executive Branch authority beyond anything we've ever known."

A top Senate Intelligence Committee aide promised, "It's something we're going to look into."

clearly our cowboy in office will never learn until he's held accountable... it just keeps happening...

He can be LEGALLY executed, or he can be made to LEGALLY sit in a rat infested cel for the rest of his natural life.

Personally, imprisonment is too damned good for the bastard.

I prefer to have him backed up against a wall, LEGALLY, with the families of all the dead Americans staning in front of him with LEGAL nah, never mind, even thats too damned good for him.

In either case, he needs to legally be removed from office as soon as possible..

Opening Mail,
Remember the pictures of all those batty democrats running like scared rabbits out of Washington when a few of them got some "white powder" mailed to them.

Don't open the mail, let them open their "Anthrax" letters themselves.

The terrorists must really hate all of this 'Freedom' we keep getting more and more of.

Heres an idea: Forward all your junk mail to the Presidents desk.

If it's a bill, they can keep it.
