Many of us remember when Dick Cheney said " We have to work the dark side ..." For many of us it was a chilling moment, for others it just slipped on by unnoticed. Some people even took it to heart as Rumsfeld and Bush did.

That EO has been one of the worse things a American President has committed to paper in our History. Rose has taken pains to point out why in todays OpEd. Just the Title and the short sentence included as a subtitle should shock the conscience of every American.
Dark powers, the sequel
