Who are We?
With the emergence of indictments in Italy and arrest warrants in Germany for American CIA agents, who nabbed citizens off the streets of those countries and shipped them off in extraordinary rendition style, my old argument once again arises. We will soon be at the point where we will have to decide whether to impeach the President ourselves or watch helplessly while the World Court, United Nations, or courts in who knows how many other countries, takes it upon themselves.
You just can't maintain a decent rendition program these days! Especially when WE are supposed to be the guys standing up for Truth and Justice and there are plenty of foreigners just dying to slap that back in our faces.
If the administration doesn't get phrases like "due process "and "habaeus corpus", Congress will have to rescue our good name from them. And it would be better to do it before more law suits crop up. At least then we could frame the charges, and of course we are already at that point as the indictments show.

PS. Have you seen the bumper sticker that says something like "Watch out or we'll bring Democracy to YOUR Country". Scary huh..
