9月28日 Breaking newsThe detainee bill just passed the Senate 65-34.
Torture is now legal in this country. Habeas corpus no longer exists. We can now detain people indefinitely and they will have NO rights in court to fight their detainment. Add that with the fact that the bill also expanded the definition of who can be held as an enemy combatant, and you begin to realize that this country is FUCKED. The definition of enemy combatant will involve such ambiguous language as any one who gives money, weapons, or OTHER SUPPORT to terrorists. Well, what the hell does 'other support' mean? And who is defining it? Will anyone who disagrees with the administration be considered under this definition. We already had the VP and other republicans saying publicly during the Lieberman primary that if you vote democrat, then you are 'supporting' the terrorists. So, does that make any person who votes democrat an enemy combatant? Fuck these republicans and anyone who supports torture and spits on the constitution. We are fucked. Our country is no better than a two-bit dictatorship now. I hope everyone is happy that we have now traded our morality, our integrity, and our rights for some false sense of security.
Go HERE to read the Bill, HR 6616: (or HR 666 as I like to call it)
One, you should read the whole thing, all 96 pages. But, if you are interested in the disgusting changes to the Geneva Conventions, start on page 64 number 13 and goes through page 93 number 4.
The habeas corpus part starts on page 93 number 5 to the end.
And remember, read the whole thing. You don't want to miss things like this:
The above clause is from a better written bill that I found here: http://www.law.georgetown.edu/faculty/nkk/documents/MilitaryCommissions.pdf
