Now that your guy is president, it is okay to do exactly what bush has been doing, if The One deigns to do it. Really, great strategy. Weaken national defense while the dems are in charge. then we get hit. Then hope the american people don't think the two are related. If you liked the Patriot Act, you are going to love what will happen if we are hit again during the next four years. Maybe "The One" won't do it, if he doesn't, his replacement will.

To think that corporations might actually choose sides in a time of war. How irresponsible of those mean corporations to act in a responsible manner to help protect the country. Now that there will be a change in administrations, I am sure that the age of public-private coordination will come to an end. The Horror!!!

Didn't we just see this argument fail miserably with telecom immunity? The corporations DID act with abandon, and we granted blanket immunity for any laws they might possibly have violated, as long as they had a letter from the President that it was okay. “the corporations lack the incentive and institutional capacity to act with similar abandon.”

Congress's ultimate leverage is the power of the purse, and it could use government contracting decisions to influence private actors in the right direction here. This looks fascinating.
