[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] <blockquote>"...Tim's constitutional scholarship, which I trust is up to snuff, considering his AWESOME RESEARCH SKILLS AND LIBRARY POWERS!..."</blockquote> Actually, I just looked up the copy of the US Constitution in [i]The World Almanac and Book of Facts 1997[/i] that I have. Anyway, I'll grant that something can be a war [i]de facto[/i] w/o being officially called "war". However, my problem is that they keep calling it a war w/o actually declaring war, which opens the way for abuse of power. They can do things like what they're doing now (holding people w/o charges or legal assistance) and claim that it's because of the war. However, if they later want to do something that they aren't allowed to do in a war, they can fall back on the "we never declared war, so it isn't a war" excuse. If they're going to treat this as a war, they should declare war. If they don't, they shouldn't be allowed any powers they aren't allowed in peacetime. It's as simple as that. [/QB][/QUOTE]
