Thanks, I appreciate you linking to the digg story--I hadn't seen that, but that makes sense. I see a couple comments on that dig post from several days ago that seem to indicate this story is talking about "the 2006 Military Commissions Act, which was recently struck down as unconstitutional by the supreme court." [swrostmore], and one of the commenters at digg correctly points out that the video was first posted on youtube in January of 08. So the story isn't brand new it seems.
The story in general also really isn't all that surprising to me--I don't blame Bush for pursuing, as strongly but quietly as he can, retroactive immunity for all the gray area (some would say it's not very gray) he's trudged into with all the cia interrogation issues since 9/11.
