Reply #115: Any speculation on why Bush signed this?

I don't recall any civil unrest in Florida that would provide justification for this action. But I wonder if it gave him special "clean-up" powers....I'm thinking about the midnight raid on Hoffman Aviation when Jeb and the FBI impounded a whole bunch of records and files who flew them to parts unknown. Extra-legal powers would have provided the cover needed to do this without going through the normal public criminal investigation process.

And what's with George having a portable SAM battery with him at the resort on 9/10...was this SOP before the attacks? Were they nervous that those terrorists training an hour or so down the cost in Venice would attack the resort in Cessna's? Did Dimson leave Laura and Poppy defenseless at the WH the evening of 9/10?
