re: Where were they before this passed? Why didn't they point out that the administration has already reserved the right to decide what an "enemy combatant" is? And that definition can, and has, include American citizens? And that now we have a situation where anybody, any place, can be picked up, tortured and even murdered. The government can keep them in secret detention and there is no way out unless the government decides to let them go or bring them to trial. If they never decide to do one of the two, then that poor sucker is stuck. Exactly. We have a central government with the power to create and use a Gestapo at will. We just eliminated the major difference between our government and the most tyrannical regimes in history. In the blink of an eye. The Founding Fathers are rolling in their graves. And little or no protest... The game is up. Bye bye.
