Sam Seder just offered a funny idea: if Scooter or Rove know too much and Bush wanted to keep them quiet, he could declare them "enemy combatants" and whisk them off to some undisclosed location where they could be interrogated, held indefinitely with no charges brought against them, no access to legal counsel, and most importantly incommunicado.

Update, a few hours later: Making my daily rounds at counterpunch.org, I saw that Sam Seder wasn't the only one thinking along these lines.
