Has this come up at FDL yet?

National Security and Homeland Security Presidential Directive

Under that plan, Bush entrusts himself with leading the entire federal government, not just the Executive Branch. And he gives himself the responsibility “for ensuring constitutional government” in the event of a catastrophic attack.

And the National Guard has now been replaced by Black Water. If I were Bush I would be as worried about Cheney has most Americans now are. This scares me more than anything else these criminals have perpetrated.

My apologies if this has already been discussed,
