Surprise, surprise

A controversial Justice Department memo written in response to the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks has been released to the public for the first time, MSNBC.com reported on Saturday. The September 25, 2001, memo argued that the president's constitutional powers permit him to order military attacks against any nation regardless of its involvement in the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The article's author, Michael Isikoff, noted that just 11 days earlier, Congress passed a joint resolution with a much more limited view; that resolution only authorized the president to initiate military aggression against nations actually bearing responsibility for the September 11 attacks.
