Senate Votes To Let Military Detain Americans Indefinitely
While we ran holiday errands last week the Senate approved a bill to indefinitely hold without trial Americans suspected of terrorist plotting. You may not be aware how broad the definition of what constitutes evidence for such “plotting” is. I’ll say it plainly: this is the sort of legislation engineered to control large scale dissent, a la Russia’s gulags, and spells a definite attack on our right to fair trials by juries of peers. Apparently the best way to stop terrorists from ending our freedom is to kill it ourselves.
