Meanwhile, Bush in the US and Reid in the UK prepare to use states of emergency to suspend constitutional arrangements.

Kurt Nimmo points out how odd it is that Bush's "National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive" has been so little reported and discussed: the same applies here in the UK, where Reid's extraordinary threat to the judiciary that he will declare a state of emergency unless they do his bidding has provoked very little comment, let alone the outrage that it deserves.
