]A federal judge on Friday threw out a petition that challenges the
]designation of a Bradley University graduate as an enemy combatant.
]
]U.S. District Court Judge Michael Mihm issued an order that
]supported a decision he made Monday in which he said the July 8
]petition filed for Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri belongs in South
]Carolina. Al-Marri, who has been in federal custody since January
]2002, was taken to a Navy brig in Charleston, S.C. under military
]control when President Bush ruled he was an al-Qaida sleeper agent
]on June 23.

]Al-Marri's status as an enemy combatant strips him of the right to
]counsel and allows the government to detain him indefinitely.

no really, does anyone else see a problem with removing due process, habeas corpus and the rest of the constitution...or is everyone happy just trusting the executive branch when they say someone is bad...no need to have trials by jury or anything, lets just let the president act as king...

it makes me sick that I have to search to find news about this, the media should be screaming at the top of their lungs 24 hours a day...

It makes me ashamed to be American sometimes when I see our country accept the abolition of the rule of law...but mostly it makes me angry at the rest of my country that seems to have forgoten what this country was supposed to stand for...
