Jose Padilla and The Death of Personal Liberty
Americans seem unaware of the great loss we've all suffered by the Padilla verdict.

The verdict confers absolute authority on the President to incarcerate American citizens without charge and without any legal means for the accused to challenge the terms of his detention. It is the end of "inalienable rights", the end of The Bill of Rights, and the end of any meaningful notion of personal liberty. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article10223.htm
