Doesn’t the Patriot Act give the government authority
to arrest Novak without a trial and hold him until he fesses up? I’m serious here, this is a nation at war and a reporter disclosed the name of a government spy, shouldn’t Novak be locked up somewhere without legal representation?
Think anything you do the White Houuse does not like and you are off to some jail and no lawyer. It is really just awful. If they had passes this in Num we would have half the country in jails and still be in the war. What the hell is wrong with congress ? / Only ones to stand up for us is Fiengold and Wellstone and he is dead.
"locked up somewhere without representation." What's that sound like to you? Just because the Patriot act is law doesn't mean WE have to act like fascists too just because we find someone reprehensible.
only that they now CAN do it, isn’t it ironic that the first big example of treason was on their side? But if they started taking journalists away, beginning with Novak wouldn’t cause much of a ripple here.
