When he speaks, the highest levels of the U.S. government listen closely. Forget Bush. Disregard Cheney for the moment. And just ignore Rumsfeld and Powell altogether. Think about the man behind them all pulling the strings. CASE IN POINT (OPED) Updated Mondays: — CASE IN POINT The unitary executive theory settles in Over the last several years politicians and talk show hosts have suggested that in order to understand causation of a certain event — 9/11, for example — we must connect the dots. In other words, establish relationships between events that seem, at first blush, unrelated. Okay, fine. Let’s try and connect some dots. In the 2000 Republican presidential primary, John McCain and George W. Bush were locked in a fierce campaign for the nomination of their party. To the surprise of many, during the 2004 presidential campaign, John McCain stood stage center with the president in support of his reelection. In mid-December of last year, after much debate over the issue of torture as a means to extract information from detainees, John McCain attached an anti-torture amendment to the defense spending bill.
