Which brings us back to why rights must be protected.

You can't just trample over the law of the land whenever you like. There are established institutions and provisions within the constitution that should deal with any eventuality. This is either, at worst, another insidious bill that could potentially enable a dictatorial regime to consolidate power whenever the shit hits the fan or, at best, another piece of legislation that wouldn't be needed if the existing law enforcement and security infrastructure were doing their jobs properly.

It's quite simple, if someone does something illegal you arrest them, build your case against them and convict on the grounds of your evidence...otherwise you let them live in peace. You can't just make an accusation and then lock the accused up without any evidence or due process.

You don't think Bush is a criminal?
Wether I do or not I beleive it has been discussed more than once here, I just don't think saying "Bush is a criminal" contributes much.
I guess it doesn't, but he still is a criminal.  But he won't be judged as such by history.

Exactly. The rights of those whom don't wish to live in fear because they obey the law and respect fellow human beings must superceed those who wish to inflict terror

These camps are for the American people who resist the changes of the new world government that is forming. Their only going to build more and more.

The contract, which is effective immediately, provides for establishing temporary detention and processing capabilities to augment existing ICE Detention and Removal Operations (DRO) Program facilities in the event of an emergency influx of immigrants into the U.S., or to support the rapid development of new programs. The contingency support contract provides for planning and, if required, initiation of specific engineering, construction and logistics support tasks to establish, operate and maintain one or more expansion facilities.
Not sure where you got your info, but the stuff on NORTHCOM and NORAD is wrong. NORTHCOM is a US-only command.

American citizens are still covered by habeas corpus.

Sounds like a tinfoil hat thing, tbh.

Further digging on Padilla will provide this:

Washington Post wrote:

His case became a key test of Bush administration claims that U.S. citizens could be held indefinitely and without charges as "enemy combatants" in the efforts against terrorism. Once the Supreme Court seemed to tilt against that tactic, the administration moved him to the criminal justice system, where he was charged and tried.
Checks and balances are a wonderful thing.

US citizens once had the protection of the Posse Comitatus Act, which prevented the use of the US military on it’s own citizens.  Now that protection has been removed by two changes.
No, it hasn't. Posse Comitatus is still in full effect.

nonsense wrote:

First the Military Commissions Act of 2006, which is vigorously being fought from many directions.  The act basically allows that almost anyone can be deemed an enemy combatant, subject to be detained indefinitely.
If only the SCOTUS hadn't struck down this law last month.

more nonsense wrote:

Second is the transfer of control of certain parts of the military to super-national organizations.  NORTHCOM like NORAD is a super-national military organization and is in control of Mexico, Canada, and CONUS, no pun intended, which is the continental United States.
NORTHCOM isn't "in control" of Mexico, Canada, and the CONUS. That defines its area of responsibility (AOR). Just like Europe, Russia, and Africa (mostly) define EUCOM's AOR.

NORAD is a multi-national command (US and Canada)...Mexico isn't a player.

So...uninformed people put tinfoil hat stuff up on the internet and it immediately has credibility? If we start accepting something as flawed as vorchester.com as a legitimate source here, you people can't bitch a single bit about Fox News anymore.

Utter. Fucking. Nonsense.

Which is why we have prisons.  But until you've determined that someone's committed a crime, you can't deny them their rights.
