If you're like me, when you hear about information posted to an al-qaeda website you think, "how the hell do they have a web site"...well the answer to that is actually pretty interesting, I checked into it a little and found some interesting information about how they're hacking websites to keep their content on the net...

]A federal judge on Friday threw out a petition that challenges the ]designation of a Bradley University graduate as an enemy combatant. ] ]U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mihm issued an order that ]supported a decision he made Monday in which he said the July 8 ]petition filed for Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri belongs in South ]Carolina. Al-Marri, who has been in federal custody since January ]2002, was taken to a Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. under military ]control when President Bush ruled he was an al-Qaida sleeper agent ]on June 23. ] ]Al-Marri's status as an enemy combatant strips him of the right to ]counsel and allows the government to detain him indefinitely.
no really, does anyone else see a problem with removing due process, habeas corpus and the rest of the constitution...or is everyone happy just trusting the executive branch when they say someone is bad...no need to have trials by jury or anything, lets just let the president act as king...
it makes me sick that I have to search to find news about this, the media should be screaming at the top of their lungs 24 hours a day...
It makes me ashamed to be American sometimes when I see our country accept the abolition of the rule of law...but mostly it makes me angry at the rest of my country that seems to have forgoten what this country was supposed to stand for...
we've gotta stop those evil terrorists no matter the plot, i mean, first hijackings, then air plane crashes, dirty bombs, anthrax...now, yep you've guessed it, they've gone so far as to use graphics libraries...
i dont know about you guys, but right now im more afraid of the people that are suposedly saving us from terrorists than i am of the terrorists...i mean, the odds of me being hit by a terrorist attack seem far less than the odds that they'll kick in my door to save the world from me...
our collective silence has paid for this, enjoy...
no-one cares about civil liberties or reason 1502-B why i hate people
