Where/when was this "desire" announced, and what are the specifics? A link would be helpful.
Ashcroft's plan, disclosed last week but little publicized, would allow him to order the indefinite incarceration of U.S. citizens and summarily strip them of their constitutional rights and access to the courts by declaring them enemy combatants.
Apparently it was not publicized very much. I can't find an original link to it anywhere.
Precisely the point, the scare-mongers are out in full force. They need to loosen their tin foil.
