Has the Bush administration lost its power to rule without public legitimacy?
It seems doubtful, but it is still hopeful that the FBI desire to learn everyone's secret interests (via internet logs they probably didn't even know are kept) and the President's various declarations of secret powers enabling him to ignore the rules of law -- except those he likes or creates without aid from the legislature-- are being discovered and questioned.
Of course, not to go too Philip K. Dickesque on y'all, it is still possible that a secret government has been created that will not be found, overruled or conquered by the new administration taking "power" in January 2009.
Is an insane thought a secret one? Is a new item a secret to everyone if you only just heard about it? Those are the questions posed over and over and never answered as one scrolls through the AboveTopSecret posts, paranoid screeds, conspiracy speculations and links to news stories of how power is abused by "duh man" (in his various evil guises).
