This is really scary and reminds me of the Sedition Act. This was discussed awhile back in the alternative media but it looks like things are moving closer to reality. With the suspension of habeus corpus, well, things don't look good for preservation of the 1st amendment. Can I just say that there isn't ONE thing Bushco has done for the good of the people in the past 7 years?

As opposed to drawing pictures and getting thrown in jail.

Ooh. Ooh. Somebody made my nose too big.

Lock his ass up.

Yes, but he was released the next day. With the definition of "enemy combatant" so vague and no due process to enemy combatants and, in light of this proposed legislation, I think we're in bigger trouble here.

Wow, what's even scarier is 42 views and comments from TWO people and the OP.

Here is a link that discusses just who is an enemy combatant and the definition thereof. Scroll down to applicability.
