This is what happens when you push a war mentality day-in and day-out. Civil liberties, even the very basis of our democracy get thrown under the bus for the sake of expediency and a false sense of security.This is a heinous bill and the opposite of freedom and democracy. This is something out of Soviet-era Russia.
via Open Congress One of Congress's most notoriously hawkish duos, Sen. John McCain [R, AZ] and Sen. Joseph Lieberman [I, CT], recently introduced legislation in response to President Obama's decision to try Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the Christmas Day airplane bomber, in a criminal court. Their proposal, which they are calling the Enemy Belligerent Interrogation, Detention and Prosecution Act, would empower the U.S. military to arrest anyone, U.S. citizen or otherwise, who is suspected of terrorist associations and detain them indefinitely, without right to a trial. These are the folks who think the Constitution is just a 'g*d-damned piece of paper.'
