what's to stop the US government from abducting people anywhere on the globe and secretly incarcerating them indefintely or secretly killing them?
first, there was the rendition program, that in practice is tantamount to kidnapping by US government.
then, there was the enemy combatant status given to US citizens on US soil, US citizens on foreign soil, and foreigners on a foreign soil. the US government has argued, successfully thus far, that this permits it to hold people indefintiely without access to courts.
is anyone safe?
if someone dissapears anywhere, how would someone know that it wasn't the US gov't behind the dissappearance because as i undertstand it, the detention could be indefinite and could be kept secret. doesn't this bother or anger anyone else? |

| It angers me but if you are like me than you know the last thing you want to do is bring any attention to yourself or give a reason for a the government or a government agent to frame you. See I believe that the government is nowhere near a regime like Stalin's and as long as it is not there than there is no reason for concern. |

until you post again and you make your presence known, i believe that the possibility exists that the either government snatched you and sent you off to be interrogated in pakistan or that aliens are sticking a probe up your butt.:p |
