I wonder whether, in speech, Obama will repeat what DOD said on Thursday, that GWOT will last 10-20 years more?http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/obama-speech-to-address-counterterrorism-measures/2013/05/18/32ddac80-bff1-11e2-9b09-1638acc3942e_story.html …
@OKnox So you're suggesting he will admit they plan to fearmonger for 20 more years?

@emptywheel I think they want to get out front of any effort to roll back exec powers. Which I guess is a qualified "yes." -
.
@OKnox So this speech is not really "how I'll make my CT efforts legal" but "how I intend to retain Executive authority at all costs"? -
@emptywheel I think has to be seen in context of AUMF discussions in Senate.
