In recent weeks President Obama has come under fire from civil libertarians for reports that his administration is drafting plans to detail terrorism suspects indefinitely. Charlie Savage of the New York Times takes a look at how much power the President claims he has and how that compares to his predecessor. Mr. Savage is the author of Takeover: The Return of the Imperial Presidency.

Could you please forward me the email address for Charlie Savage?
I have information about International Police operating inside the jurisdiction of my city.
Can we be sure before this show kicks off to use the correct word "preventive," not the non-word "preventative?" Get orientated!
