Arab-American Groups Seek to Cripple FBI and CIA Investigations

Here is what they are pushing on their website:

"The Arab-American community has also suffered a rash of “secret evidence” prosecutions, in which immigrants are held indefinitely, without charge and on the basis of evidence withheld from the defendants, their attorneys and the public. These prosecutions, which are in clear violation of Fifth Amendment due process rights, were prompted by the 1996 Anti-Terrorism Act. The denial of bond that has accompanied these cases, almost all of which have involved individuals of Arab ethnicity or Muslim religious affiliation, is based on the 1996 Immigration Act, and has led to notorious cases of lengthy incarcerations without charge, such as those of Nasser Ahmed, Hany Kiareldeen, and Mazen Al-Najjar."

Of course, they wish to punch a hole in the Anti-terrorism Act!!!!!!!!!
