The Bush administration is mistaken if it believes the proper way to fight the war on terrorism is to ignore the courts and the Congress.

 I claim to be a human rights man , and wherever there is a human being, I see God-given rights inherent in that being, whatever may be the sex or the complexion. Our rights are equal, and whoever tramples on them is either a ruffian or a tyrant, unwilling that justice should reign in the world.
  William Lloyd Garrison
