Oh yeah. Arrested him...questioned him without legal counsel....held him for as long as they wanted. Yes, these are the rights we now have thanks to the trusty Patriot Act. So, we violated this man's rights...rights that everyone else in this country have regardless of...oh wait, did you say terrorist? You said the t-word. Throw him in a cell and lets get to the "questioning."

You've posted this piece before Ridin. We've replied. Again and again, you seem to assume that anyone who is against the Patriot Act is "ok with terrorists attacking our country." That is so completely wrong. It's like the people who assume that you don't support the troops because you don't support the war. Am I glad that the Brooklyn Bridge was not blown up? YES!! Am I glad there is a sweeping "counter terrorism" act that violates our rights? NO.
Nothing, nothing can serve as an exception to the rights we are guaranteed.
