Time for a Democracy Movement« Thread Started on Aug 2, 2007, 7:03am » --------------------------------------------------------------------------------Time for a Democracy MovementPosted July 31, 2007 | 09:52 AM (EST) read at source> http://www.huffingtonpost.com/naomi-wol ... 7.htmlWhat country is this? The president is claiming the right to keep his aides from testifying for Congress about the U.S. attorneys scandal; hundreds of men -- according to a Seton Hall study, many of them innocent -- are in legal limbo in Guantanamo Bay; U.S. agents are kidnapping people off the streets in Italy and Macedonia and `rendering' them to be tortured; the president and his lawyers claim the executive has the right to call anyone -- U.S. citizen or not -- an `enemy combatant' -- and the person who should decide what that means is the President himself; civil rights organizations say peaceful citizens' groups are being infiltrated and put under surveillance; and a new bill just made it easier, as Senator Patrick Leahy warned, for the president -- any president of whatever party -- to declare martial law.
