It Can't Happen Here: Civil liberties we have lost since September 11By Craig Cox, Utne Reader

Non-citizens can now be detained indefinitely on minor visa violations.
Broader wiretapping and Internet surveillance are now allowed.
The government's ability to conduct secret searches has been expanded.
Attorney General John Ashcroft now has the power to designate domestic groups as terrorist organizations and can deport any non-citizen member of those groups.
The FBI now has the authority to demand access to sensitive business records without demonstrating that a crime has been committed.
Law enforcement officials have broad latitude to investigate citizens for "intelligence purposes."
Airline security officials can refuse to allow a passenger to board a plane based on the book the passenger is reading

All I have to say is that all of you need to take a step back and look at the stupid things that you are puting on the internet. your crazy. if you have to give up a few
small rights to protect an entire country than you should. you people are taking it to the extreme and need to take some time to calm down, or move to canada or france were you will feel welcome.
