Bush Wants to Be Declared a Dictator

A directive released on May 9, 2007 declares Bush will be a dictator in case of a catastrophic emergency. See this story for more. The directive defines catastrophic emergency as:

"Catastrophic Emergency" means any incident, regardless of location, that results in extraordinary levels of mass casualties, damage, or disruption severely affecting the U.S. population, infrastructure, environment, economy, or government functions"

The directive goes on to declare him the leader of the federal government in the event of a catastrophic emergency. Not sharing the power with the judicial and legislative branches, but "the President shall lead the federal government..."

I go back and forth on whether these guys are incompetent or just nuts, but it seems like both which is scarier.
