Imagine being thrown in prison on suspicion of terrorism. Now, imagine being thrown in prison, but you are an American citizen and you have no right to due process. Sounds Orwellian, yes? This could never happen in democratic America. NOPE. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2011/11/29/senate-votes-to-let-military-detain-americans-indefinitely_n_1119473.html

This HAS to be talked about. It is a direct violation of our Constitutional Rights. If they pass this bill, well refer to Orwell's 1984...

Yeah, because US citizens are so oppressed.

We should protest Guantanamo Bay. We should protest 10 years in Afghanistan. We should protest corporate colonialization and 'free-trade' agreements. We should protest the military-industrial complex. All of which is a violation of people everywhere.

It's being vetoed. And nobody's getting detained just for walking down the street and called a terrorist. That's just stupid

You are aware that the Huffington Post is a band of far left bloggers, aren't you?
