Reply #12: Enemies of the state... [View All]

Our government has been doing dispicable things all over the world for decades (WHY DO THEY HATE US??!!)
Now US citizens are being marked for similar treatment under the "state security" banner.
Genuine threats should be investigated and properly prosecuted. We do not need special star chambers to deal with them. Such tactics can only denegrate the rule of law and cow the average person into accepting such extreme techniques. To many buy into the mindset of if you aren't doing anything wrong what do you have to fear? People who are swept up, detained without charges, subjected to brutalization, for being under suspicion have no recourse or hope and become like Mr. Padilla, victims who might just suffer disabling mental illness.
