There was no trail as there was no evidence linking him to a bombing in Spain, I believe, just after 9/11. I can name one.

It is about the ROVE legacy. Rove doesn't want his reputation to be that of a person who put the worst President EVER into office, so he defends the President - or, more precisely, defends the actions of the administration. Notice that the word "Bush" hardly ever crosses his lips in this discussion. He's not trying to re-write the history of "Bush", he's trying to re-write the history of the last 8 years.

When it was certain they would be FORCED TO they gave him one and are now DENYING they kept Muslims without trial. Ah yeah you did. For at least three years. Then there is Yassir Hamdi was an American citizen kept three years without a trail and only released when the SC told Bush he WASNT PHAROAH and couldnt hold US citizens without trial. So after being FORCED THREE years each and only allowing trial or release after being FORCED by the SC these guys are LAUGHING at the idea they held American Muslims without trial.
