What about American citizens that were held without being told what the charges where. Without due process. Without access to a lawyer. Without being able to face their accuser. Without being presented with the evidences against them. Without a speedy trial. Basically their habeus corpus rights suspended by presidential decree and or the guise of the "Patriot Act"?
Did you know Bush decreed it was ok to tap your phone with a court order. Did you know Bush decreed it was ok to intercept and monitor your mail without a court order.
And don't give me the "I have nothing to hide" speech. This is the united States of America. I have a right to my privacy. It says so in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
