My colleague Gene Healy has a hard-hitting critique (“The Imperial Presidency and the War on Terror“) of the Bush administration’s view of its own powers in the latest Cato Policy Report. (The issue also has a short report on my last trip to Iraqi Kurdistan.)

NOTE: May 5 will feature a debate between Cato scholars Robert A. Levy and Roger Pilon on the topic “Resolved: The Bush NSA Surveillance Program Is Illegal.”
