President Bush signed into law the Military Commissions Act of 2006. At its worst, the legislation allows President Bush or Donald Rumsfeld to declare anyone — US citizen or not — an enemy combatant, lock them up and throw away the key without a chance to prove their innocence in a court of law. In other words, every thing the Founding Fathers fought the British empire to free themselves of was reversed and nullified with the stroke of a pen, all under the guise of the War on Terror.

MR.Olbermann really needs to be a politician representing us in Washington. He is unbiassed, and honest.I just hope that "they" don't use the new law to eventually shut him up.I have so much respect for him.
