To the Editor:
  Many were disappointed and puzzled that president Bush demurred to
lead a broad international coalition to apprehend Osama bin Laden in
2001. Instead, he called for "crusade" and asserted extraordinary
war-time powers.  We are still learning the extent of these
extraordinary powers. The memos just released suggest that the rule of
law itself was a casualty of war.
