While the linked article reads as a touch hysterical, and a bit condescending (use of the word 'gummint'), it does raise an extraordinarily important point that our media isn't reinforcing, and our citizens just don't want to cope with.
I'll say it again. The Constitution and Bill of Rights have been suspended by the Bush Administration.
Since we are 'at war' - a ridiculous untruth which should not be allowed to stand - any person, including US citizens (as Mr. Padilla was) can be jailed without charges for an indefinite period. The only requirement is that 'the Administration' label them as an enemy combatant - no actual evidence is necessary. Oh, and then you can be tortured...
If you slept through your Government classes in school, this is kinda serious folks.
