Letter to the editor today in the Columbian about their misguided dual endorsement of Webb and Baird:

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Congress should explicitly declare a state of armed conflict with al Qaeda to make clear the United States can detain suspected members as long as the war on terrorism lasts, U.S. Attorney General Michael Mukasey said on Monday.
Mukasey urged Congress to make the declaration in [...]
Bush gets “honest” when he thinks the cameras are off:
