Here is the part I don't get by the liberal, democrats and rights activists. This quote from a story on Yahoo.
"Many Democrats opposed the legislation because they said it eliminated rights of defendants considered fundamental to American values, such as a person's ability to go to court to protest their detention and the use of coerced testimony as evidence. Bush acknowledged that the law came amid dispute."
The American Civil Liberties Union said the new law is "one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted in American history."
My arguement for support on this is they are NOT US citizens. I don't feel they should have the same rights as I do. They certainly don't value America, its values, its people or our way of life. So, why should we grant the same civil liverties to people that want to kill me, my children and will die trying? :mad:
"The president can now, with the approval of Congress, indefinitely hold people without charge, take away protections against horrific abuse, put people on trial based on hearsay evidence, authorize trials that can sentence people to death based on testimony literally beaten out of witnesses, and slam shut the courthouse door for habeas petitions," said ACLU Executive Director Anthony D. Romero. Come on, there is an old saying, "If you don't want to smell like shyt, don't step it". This is to the extreme, but if this new law can stop another 9/11, I don't see a problem.
