As conversant as I am with the abuses and extralegal activities of the Bush administration, it was astonishing to read a sampling of them in one place -– a New York Times editorial that offers a list of things that need to be done to begin to reverse the damage that President Bush and Vice President Cheney have wrought.

The list begins with restoring habeas corpus, stopping illegal spying and banning torture and goes on from there. It is, as Joe might say, a must read.
