New presidential directive gives Bush dictatorial power

22-05-2007 11:30

The National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive, signed on May 9, 2007 declares that in the event of a “catastrophic event”, George W. Bush can become what is best described as "a dictator":

CRTICAL MASS - friday - may be the biggest ever?

22-05-2007 07:55
