Osama's threat to me pales to Shrub's. OBL doesn't even know I am alive; I'm just an abstract concept to him. Shrub knows my SS#, phone#, e-mail address, political inclinations, tax statements, ex-wife's middle name, IRA account #,...

M2 <Leahy's smarmy comment doesn't deserve a response, because it doesn't eliminate habeas corpus for anyone who is entitled to it. Foreign combatants are not entitled. > It would appear you in fact enjoy kool aid. Would you really want Bush and Rumsfeld deciding who is a combatant? A19

...because it doesn't eliminate habeas corpus for anyone who is entitled to it. Foriegn combatants are not entitled. The law says nothing about a requirement that an enemy combatant need be a foriegner at all. Also, it has a very wide definition of what it means to be an enemy combatant. The definition could apply to anyone who the President says. Look at the language, it is there that you will find the rub. Don't come crying when Osama drops an egg on your face. There is absolutely no assurance that this law will do ANYTHING to prevent the types of activity you are suggesting. It will however, ensnare many people that would not fall into the suggested targets of the law, for example, those who would dissent against our own gov't domestically within their "rights" of free speech. Now that is truly scary. Look at this Keith Obermann clip to shed a little light: movies.crooksandliars.com Regards, WIJ
