brian4 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 There is a "Chilling" story in the NY Times about a guy who spoke no English who got picked up in a terror sweep, who had done nothing wrong and was stuffed into solitary confinement for 90 days and rousted constantly. He would still be there if the FBI agent who arrested him hadn't worked to get him out. So much for the right to a fair trial-Huh! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butterfield 8 Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Brian - See Machinehead's dissection of Supreme court decisions on Political - confirmed US citizens can be held indefinitely without charges or trial and foreigners entitled to a hearing, but are presumed guilty unless they can prove their innocence.

Lock Limit Down Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 Remember some years back when the Hong Kong government came right out and said they were buying equities to support what was then a very very weak Hang Seng. If I remember correctly the government ended up owning around 35% of the market. I have no doubt the government is pursuing a similar strategy until November or the election being called off. Again today ABSOLUTELY NO WEAKNESS TOLERATED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rog Posted June 30, 2004 Report Share Posted June 30, 2004 A true story. A friend of my wife came to the states three years ago and married a US citizen. She had all the legal visas etc. two months ago she received a letter telling her to report to the INS to pick up her green card. She had been fast tracked due to marriage. She reports to INS , picks up the green card and is asked to wait in a room on the side. She is then arrested on the spot and taken to a detention center in Newark, NJ. Apparently there is a problem with her paperwork. She is not allowed visitors, except her husband for 15min at a time. no lawyer can visit or litigate this case. She is in a holding pen with 12 other "aliens" none of which speak english. they sleep on the floor on athin piece of foam and are allowed one shower and one change of clothes per week. They are all awaiting hearings which will happen at some undetermined time in the future. Here is the kicker: my wife's friend is a citizen of Australia with no record of any criminal activity, not even a speeding ticket. As far as I know we are not currently at war with Australia, nor is Australia currently considered to be harboring terrorists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
