Justice Department
memos released last week paint a picture of a post-9/11 America
where the military censors, searches, and seizes people at will.
John Yoo, the main author of the memos, argued that the Pentagon
could wage the War on Terror within the United States, unencumbered
by the constitutional limits that law enforcement agencies are
bound to obey. Senior Editor Jacob Sullum wonders if President
Obama, like President Bush, will be tempted to follow his
advice.
