Bush Acknowledges Secret Prisons, Presses for More Military Tribunals

To Bush, it matters not at all that the Supreme Court, in the case of Hamdan (allegedly bin Laden's one-time chaffeur), has ruled that his military tribunals are unconstitutional. Nor does it seem to matter to him that of the very few cases the Bushies have brought to court on charges tied to terrorism, the feds have almost NO convictions. Nope, Bush just wants what he wants when he wants it, and everyone else be damned. He's demanding new legislation be written and passed that will override the Supreme Court.

MSNBC is also reporting that Bush has confirmed the existence of secret prisons, something most of us have known for a very long time but which, until today, the Bushies themselves refused to acknowledge.
