On the memo.

1. We may never see it. I see Ashcroft considers it classified. Wonder why.
2. It's my experience that people put in groups to come up with policy will say almost anything. But the final document tends to reflect some perceptions of what the recipients wish to hear. So I take the notion that the president is above the law, advocated in the document, to be something very serious indeed. There appears to be no parallel record of someone saying, into the process, something on the order of "get serious. have you forgotten Watergate, Iran-Contra. The president is not above the law."
3. If the president is viewed as above the law because "we are at war", are there other consequences of that view?
