It has been over 10 years since the attack on the World Trade Center and American citizens rights are continuing to be eroded in the name of “National Security”. Reality is that if various US security agencies were competent in their jobs, the US never would have been attacked.
The Senate last night overwhelmingly passed a massive $662 billion defense bill that calls for crippling sanctions against Iran, requires the military to hold suspected terrorists—even those busted on US soil—and would allow detention of American citizens suspected of terrorism indefinitely without trial.
The White House has threatened to veto the bill because of the ramp-up in the military role in handling terrorists. “Applying this military custody requirement to individuals inside the US would raise serious legal questions, and would be inconsistent with the fundamental American principle that our military does not patrol our streets,” the White House said in a statement. The bill would require military custody of suspects linked to al-Qaeda or its affiliates and involved in an attack or a plot against the US. American citizens would be exempt.
But the legislation also would allow authorities to deny suspected terrorists, even citizens seized in the US, the right to trial and subject them to indefinite detention, reports AP.
The provision infuriates civil rights groups. “Since the bill puts military detention authority on steroids and makes it permanent, American citizens are at greater risk of being locked away by the military without charge or trial if this bill becomes law,” said the senior legislative counsel for the ACLU.
What is most scary is if you figure the amount of innocent people prosecuted and jail in the USA (ask the innocence project), what’s to say that an innocent person couldn’t be swept up in this? Perhaps just someone who opposes government policy, but has never acted outside of the rights afforded them by the US constitution.
How can they guarentee that an innocent person won’t be rounded up? Or is that just acceptable collateral damage?
