"That’s how this group of Bush followers thinks America is supposed to work. If you are a U.S. citizen, the President can unilaterally order you abducted and imprisoned; does not have to charge you with any crime; can block you from speaking with anyone, including a lawyer; can keep you incarcerated indefinitely (meaning forever); and can deny you the right to any judicial review of your imprisonment or any mechanism for challenging the accuracy of the accusations. And oh – while it would be nice if we could preserve all of that abstract lawyer nonsense about the right to a jury trial and all that, we’re really scared that Al Qaeda is going to kill us, so we can’t," – Glenn Greenwald, on his blog yesterday.
