"Extraconstitutional measures."

That's the wording Condoleeza Rice used yesterday when commenting on the situation in Pakistan:

"The U.S. has made clear it does not support extraconstitutional measures because those measures take Pakistan away from the path of democracy and civilian rule," Rice said after attending an Iraq neighbors conference in Istanbul, Turkey. "Whatever happens we will be urging a quick return to civilian rule."


Martial law is now "extraconstitutional measures." I suspect the Administration is monitoring the situation in Pakistan very carefully -- not so much as it relates to the risk of terrorists getting their hands on nuclear weapons, but as a test case of what they themselves might be able to get away with here.
