[INDUCTIVE FALLACY: STRAWMAN]Wrong. Unlike the United States and the Western world, those that made the "Enabling Act" possible faced no real threat. The justifications that they used were not based on reality. This is in sharp contrast to what the United States and the West faced with regards to asymmetrical warfare. Your example is not comparable to the justification used with regards to asymmetrical warfare against an asymmetrical threat. The threat that we faced then, and still face now, exists. It is not made up. It's real. The mechanisms that we used, to get authorization within the United States, utilize laws that were already in existence long before President Bush. Again NO comparison.
As "lawful" as the "Enabling Act," even though in both cases, the evidence had to be "fixed." Originally Posted by andymarksman
