I read it and I agree.

Now, no insult is meant but if you hold these values to be so important (as I agree they are) when will you try to take them back from the current administration?

Bush is the figurehead for a lot of directives that go directly against the constitution. In the name of the war against terrorism, the US government can
- arrest you without cause
- hold you indefinitely without bringing charges
- take away your right to an attorney, or even the right to be heard.
- send you to another country to be 'interrogated'.
- freeze all your assets without recourse if you are even suspected of having contact with terrorists.

There is all this talk about how important the constitution is, and how people have unalienatable (is that a word?) rights.
But from what I can see, people are happy enough just to stand aside and let the government do whatever as long as it gives them a false sense of security.

'I am not a terrorist so I have nothing to fear.' does not apply. There are people who have been captured, held for months or years, tortured, deprived of all contact, and when someone finally got a clue to their innocence, they got plonked out on the street without an explanation or even an acknowledgement that mistakes were made.

All that is necessary for the triumph of evil is that good men do nothing.
Are you standing aside or are you doing something?
