Well, if TK is on the lists, you wonder how many others are there for no good reason. Having grown up under communism, I'm not really into the whole preventative detention with no probable cause thing. Simple as that.

Duly noted.
Have you any thoughts on whether or not the preponderance of "former communists" now a critical part of our information-sharing, policing actions and confection of wholly new "Homeland Defense" type organizations perhaps have a part in our resembling more each day the "former Soviet Union" we pretend we trounced just because it appeared to collapse overnight like some cheap umbrella?
Well, if TK is on the lists,
IMHO ... the prime reason TK was on the lists and subjected to a "show trial" experience of inconvenient and unjustified detention is so that he'll be positioned to argue in favor of the far more effective and accurate Biometric National ID scanning system which his Pubbie friends in the Senate passed 96-2 this week. (Two Dems voting nay and Kerry/Edwards conveniently absent so as to make this quiet dismantling of the Constitution even MORE of a non-issue than it already is).
