William Safire continues his broadside: Kangaroo Courts: “President Bush’s initiative to

create military tribunals turns

back the clock on all

advances in military justice,

through three wars, in the

past half-century.” NY Times [My cynical side, a.k.a. the iceberg beneath the tip, conjectures that there’s something beyond just journalistic integrity and the courage of convictions behind Safire’s public denunciation of an administration whose values would appear to be so close to his heart. If anyone knows, or can point to, more detailed analysis, I’d love to hear it. TIA. –FmH]
