I'm a biochemist, not a lawyer. The danger of this execrable law is that
someone is going to be police, judge, and executioner all at the same

That doesn't seem constitutional. I have no objection to a /real/
terrorist being handed over to the military for safekeeping, but I'd
like a
jury of /MY/ peers to help the police and prosecutor in determining
whether
that person is a /real/ terrorist, rather than some bloke shooting of
his
big mouth to an entrapment agent.

Hi,
If you don't like somepne. just call him/her terrorist or Al Queada.
Never see him/her again.


Just like in the 50s with McCarthy; just call some a "communist" and their
career was toast.


Ironically, it turned out that all those (and some more) were actual
communists.
