The Power-Madness of King George
Is Bush turning America into an elective dictatorship?
By Jacob Weisberg

Is anything standing between the current practices of spying, lying, torture, and detention without habeas corpus, and the next step: arrest of Democratic candidates as political prisoners and censorship of the press? If there is, could someone please explain it? Because the way I see it, if President Bush wants to do something in the interest of national security, he can simply do it. And nobody is going to stop him.

Please tell me I’m wrong, and why.
