What the Framing of a Terror Suspect Says About GOP Attacks on Due Process
http://j.mp/10hwCYg (Atlantic)
"For years now, War on Terrorism hawks have been arguing that
terrorists -- by which they mean people accused of terrorism -- don't
identify themselves like traditional enemies; and that it's foolish to
read them their rights, to bring them before a judge, to require that
evidence be presented to justify holding them, or to interfere with
the judgment calls the executive branch makes in war time. Insofar as
I know, the folks who make those arguments didn't call for Paul Kevin
Curtis in particular to get the enemy-combatant treatment. That's to
their credit. But would things have been different if his name was
Abbas Hussein Mohammed? Or if a federal official had actually been
hospitalized or killed by one of the ricin laced letters? Or if the
frame-up had included the threat of more ricin imminently targeting
unspecified officials in the U.S. government?"
