I'm no constitutional lawyer and I don't really know what you mean by suspension of the Constitution for al-Qaida. That said, and I will probably provoke some Freeper hell-fire down on my head, I have some real problems with the Patriot act and the idea that the President has the right to suspend habeas corpus. I know Lincoln did it--but he is hardly my favorite President.
I would just ask this. Many of us are very suspicious about the conduct of the federal government in this prosecution. In fact, I don't trust government agencies any further than I can spit. Many conservatives feel that way.
So--why do we accept hook, line and sinker that they are treating all the detainees accused of terrorism here in the States and elsewhere with fundamental fairness?
So rain away on my head fellow Freepers!
