Fact is that American rights have and will continue to be taken away. While I deplore terroriest activities, their operations cannot intrude upon basic rights. If our right to speak freely, call into question our local state and federal goverments are taken then have not these terroriest won? They striped up of our freedoms using our own goverment quest of geez best I can describe as 1950 cowboy justice. So what now will Mr. Ashcroft say you have no right to remain silent because you are a terroriest, have no right to an attorney, be held under miltary law in undisclosed places? Points to ponder for sure where it will go I cannot say but having 3 sons I fear the life and rules they may have to live under is things continue to go unquesioned. Me have my retirement place already and it's outside the US, like SS will pay anything Peace
