New Tools

We hereby grant you these tools to combat global terror.

We create for you the power to hold whomever you suspect wherever you wish for as long as you wish in secret. And we further give to you the sole power to decide what stern measures may be applied to those you hold. And we forbid any outside review of the process.

In the interest of freedom and democracy and the global war on terror, we grant these things.

With liberty and justice for all.

Hat tip: Motivated by an entry in Robert K. Brown's A Work in Progress in which he highlighted a line in an editorial in the Minneapolis/St.Paul Star Tribune which reads: The bill the House approved allows him to hold whom he wants where he wants for as long as he wants and do with them whatever he wants, in secret.
