Reagan lawyer critical of Bush

From Ian Brown, Ronald Reagan's associate deputy attorney general Bruce Fein has been critical of George Bush on the domestic spying front.

"President Bush presents a clear and present danger to the rule of law. He cannot be trusted to conduct the war against global terrorism with a decent respect for civil liberties and checks against executive abuses. Congress should swiftly enact a code that would require Mr. Bush to obtain legislative consent for every counterterrorism measure that would materially impair individual freedoms."

That's strong language from someone who should be a natural Bush supporter.
