This is an example.


What war, Sloww? War against our own citizens?


I find it very interesting that this man is Hispanic. Hopefully all the pro-racial profiling folks will start to have second thoughts.

Which will be respected.

Unless one or two US citizens decide to team up with Al Qaeda and build a dirty bomb... whose rights will not be respected and their citizenship should be stripped of them.

WHAT? HOW ABOUT THIS: THE US TRIES HIM AFTER HE HAS BLOWN UP A DIRTY RADIOACTIVE BOMB IN THE US? Because that is what you are proposing.

Or how about this: Let him free?

Has his citizenship been stripped? By the way, I am not a strict libertarian. I am a conservative who still believes in liberty and the Constitution. I fully understand the necessity for war time restrictions on rights but this war will never end and anyone who is called a terrorist can be the enemy. The implications are frightening.

So we go around putting citizens under military arrest without trial?! This is the stuff of dictatorships, not democracies!

If this man has not been tried HE IS NOT GUILTY. Surely anyone with any faith in democracy can see this?!

Surely even you can see that without evidence this man has DONE NOTHING. He is as innocent as you or I, until he is found guilty in a FAIR TRIAL.

Why don't we just accuse anyone who opposes the government of being a terrorist and have the military arrest them indefinently.

Lincoln is right, this goes against the values of both liberals and conservatives.

There is evidence against him and to prevent him from being set free by bail for example he had to be put under indefinite detention.

OMG! This is unbelieveable! The guy has plans to build dirty weapons and you want nothing done about it!

That is patently unconstitutional and illegal! And, what's worse than the possibility of military trial is the fact that they don't have to give him ANY trial at all! They could just hold him, indefinitely, without a trial until the day he dies.

This is simply disgusting behavior by my government, but nothing is going stop Bush & Ashcroft from doing what they want in regards to this guy.

WRONG, Giancarlo. He is NOT GUILTY until proven otherwise in a court of law. And NOT a military court, either.

THAT is the law of the land. What Ashcroft has done is illegal.

Help yourself to an AD-FREE life

Alright I will explain myself now because I have to go take my last final exam:

I am for the US being a republic, and a free state. Yes, but should it be this way for people who have plans to blow up dirty radioactive weapons in the US and have been in Afghanistan training with Al Qaeda and the taliban? No it should not. Those who are accused of being connected Al qaeda with credible evidence should not have the chance of being set free by a judge on bail which could be hazardous to national security. Is there a fine line for who sets the standards of national security and individual rights? I leave that to the government. I am not for a fascist/police state and will never be. I am for security, and maybe sometimes rights of certain individuals will be infringe but that is better than having them walk around the US with plans to blow up a dirty radioactive weapon.

Yes maybe my beliefs are outspoken from what you have heard but it is just me.

Actually, no, that is for me (and everyone else) to judge, since you've gleefully paraded around your total ignorance of the American justice system. Actually, it's not a judgment at all, but simply a statement of fact.
