Earlier this month, Attorney General John Ashcroft announced the administration's desire to build internment camps for U.S. citizens that the government would declare to be "enemy combatants." According to the plan, U.S. citizens could be held indefinitely without any constitutional protections or rights.

This statement is a bald faced lie.

Jonathan Turley, a professor of constitutional law at George Washington University said, "Whereas Al Qaeda is a threat to the lives of our citizens, Ashcroft has become a clear and present threat to our liberties."

And Jonathan Turley had crow feathers floating around his mouth when he was called on it in an interview by Sean Hannity. He made the camps up out of whole cloth.

Thats as far as I got in the reading of this and I feel no need to continue when the first point he makes is bs.

truth is good.

So Ashcroft has never referenced internment camps for enemy combatants? How is Diego Garcia classified? We do have British citizens there, as well as other nationalities.
