"I don’t give a goddamn," Bush retorted. "I’m the President and the Commander-in-Chief. Do it my way."

"Mr. President," one aide in the meeting said. "There is a valid case that the provisions in this law undermine the Constitution."

"Stop throwing the Constitution in my face," Bush screamed back. "It’s just a goddamned piece of paper!"

Truthdig - Ear to the Ground - Colin Powell: Close Guantanamo Immediately

Truthdig - Ear to the Ground - Colin Powell: Close Guantanamo Immediately: "Colin Powell has come out against Guantanamo Bay: 'Guantanamo has become a major, major problem ... in the way the world perceives America and if it were up to me I would close Guantanamo, not tomorrow but this afternoon.' The former secretary of state has been eager to rehabilitate his image in recent years after a disastrous WMD sales pitch at the U.N."

Another defection from a former Bush associate. Of course, his opinion will do nothing to change the "decider's" stance.
