[PEN-L:29862] the legal war?

["Devine, James" <jdevine@xxxxxxx>]

Title: the legal war?

From today's SLATE: >The [US-based] Washington Post leads with a
piece saying that Bush administration lawyers "have concluded"
that the president can legally attack Saddam without prior approval
from Congress. The lawyers argue, among other points, that Bush
already has the power to invade from congressional resolutions
adopted prior to Gulf War I. Still, the piece says that some
inside the White House think that Bush should get Congress's
blessing in any case.<

nice of them, don't you think?
