"President Bush has wide-ranging powers to secretly round up suspected terrorists and detain them indefinitely, including U.S. citizens like Padilla. Faced with a deadline last week to justify the detention of another U.S.-born enemy combatant, Yaser Esam Hamdi, Justice Department lawyers told a federal judge that he didn’t have the right to review the material." http://www.msnbc.com/news/792462.asp?0dm=N316N This is the man who said "there ought to be limits to freedom" and "When I was coming up, it was a dangerous world, and you knew exactly who they were," he said. "It was us vs. them, and it was clear who them was. Today, we are not so sure who the they are, but we know they're there.". Anybody else scared?
