....but he was already elected by May.  How should W have handled it?  The
above isn't necessarily criticism of either W or H.  I sure as hell can't
figure out how to deal with those guys either.  The constitution doesn't
have a category for those who aren't exactly POWs, don't have an actual
country, but can't really be treated as ordinary criminals either.
