2001 until 2004.
Shortly after that, we swore off it forever, but I think the American people would still be ok with it.
You'd probably argue for it, wouldn't you?
So how long will it be until the federal government reserves the right to eliminate American citizens who purportedly are "terrorists" within the territory of these United States?

Question: what do you call a person who believes that anything remotely important when it comes to the relationship between the US Government and torture changed during W. Bush tenure in office?
It's probably someone who learned history by reading Andrew Sullivan, the NYT or watching MSNBC - but is there a single word that can describe that type of person properly?

The emergence of a multi-tiered system of justice in America basically foreshadows the return of outlawry. Certain people, including US citizens, can be placed beyond the protection of the law on the say so of the president.
Good thing there are no foreseeable problems with that.
