Washington secretly authorized military raids on 20 countries since 2004 - Since 2004, the Bush administration has secretly authorized military raids against up to 20 countries without any declaration of war or even any explicit congressional authorization for armed action, according to a report published Monday in the New York Times. The report, which cites recent attacks on targets in Pakistan, Syria and Somalia, establishes that under an order issued by then-Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld and approved by President George W. Bush in the spring of 2004, the US military's Special Operations forces were given license to attack alleged al Qaeda targets "anywhere in the world."

Must be all that religion ...
