alternet.org — Kellogg Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, is constructing a huge facility at an undisclosed location to hold tens of thousands of Bush's "unlawful enemy combatants." Americans are certain to be among them.

"Go find some Amercians in this prison,..."Go find where it is written that only Americans are born with inalienable rights.

Rex84, except newer. It's a fact. Just like Carnivore and Echelon were real, and now have terrorism and the Decidership to justify them. NSA spy rooms in every telecom hq. Well let me tell you conspiracies are real, they happen every day just like not-so ancient Rome. It shouldn't surprise you, yet it does.<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex84">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rex84</a><a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ECHELON</a><a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_%28FBI%29">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carnivore_%28FBI%29</a><a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communications_Assistance_for_Law_Enforcement_Act</a>"...to make clear a telecommunications carrier's duty to cooperate in the interception of communications for Law Enforcement purposes, and for other purposes."<a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Information_Awareness">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Total_Information_Awareness</a><a class="user" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_%28software%29">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_Lantern_%28software%29</a>Are you blind to conspiracy, or are your eyes wide shut willfully blind?

I believe that document you are looking for is the US Constitution. It's an interesting document - try giving it a read sometime.

Zen,If you are shifting the discussion to "Is Torture Bad", that is a different thread -- and anyone who has their head out of their ass will agree that torture is a horrific thing.However, this discussion was about if this bill pertains to US citizens.

RE: Millitary Commissions Act of 2006Many people are concerned about whether or not this legislation pertains to U.S. Citizens. I happen to be one of them, but I don't think this is the immediate reason for this legislation to be passed.Anyone who's been watching the news or following current events on the internet knows that there is a very large surge of Americans who are calling the current administration 'war criminals'.Anyone who hasn't been watching 'American Idol' for three years straight should feel that these accusations are at least worthy of an investigation, yet this is no longer possible seeing as how this legislation gives the administration 'retroactive immunity' for 'possible war crimes' dating back to September 11, 2001. This means that even if 9/11 WERE an inside job and if the atrocities at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay DO count as war crimes, then there is no way they could be prosecuted for it because The Supreme Court no longer has the legal authority to hear cases pertaining to 'National Security'.Even Alberto Gonzales came just a step away from outright threatening federal court judges not to interfere:<a class="user" href="http://alberto-gonzales-news.newslib.com/story/2406-3222436/">http://alberto-gonzales-news.newslib.com/story/2406-3222436/</a>Coincidentally, the legislation DOES affect U.S. Citizens because any citizen declared as an "unlawful enemy combatant" is stripped of all civil liberties. Don't ask me. Ask Jose Padilla:<a class="user" href="http://www.chargepadilla.org/">http://www.chargepadilla.org/</a>So, all of this basically to propose the idea that the main motivation for this legislation was to get the neocons off the hook... The loss of our Constitution and Bill of Rights was only a bonus that future presidents will benefit from.
