Showdown at High Noon averted

Looks like the Showdown at High Noon was avoided by setting our clocks forward an hour. The Supreme Court decided not to challenge Bush's wartime detention powers because the Administration decided to course and proceed to trial on different charges.

An appeals court panel had all but called for the court to deal with the case, saying it was troubled by the Bush administration's change in legal strategy — after holding Padilla more than three years without charges.

Reminds me of this cartoon on Bush being a straight shooter. Imagine Bush and the Supreme Court holding the "weapons" to defend our country.
