Yes, lets publicly fund advanced torture. This makes America safe.
Lawyers and Cops are out of control.

Regarding posting an excerpt, although I am the author of this piece, I sold it to The Revered Review (TRR), which has the rights to it. I just wanted to point that out, as in the distant past a few Freepers got annoyed that I linked to my blog. TRR is NOT a property of mine; I am merely a freelance contributing writer. I will gladly continue to re-post full articles from my blog U.S. Trade & Aid Monitor when those pieces do not appear elsewhere. Thanks for understanding.

This is fine as long as they only use it on US citizens not involved in terror.
Any use on non-citizens or terror suspects should be illegal.
Just illustrating absurdity be being absurd.

They had considered enticing suspects with M&M’s, but the Justice Dept. warned them that by doing so, and then later withholding the M&M’s, if they suspected lack of cooperation, the FBI would then be guilty of TORTURE!!!!!!

This is a serious threat, specifically because it will *not* be applied to “terrorists” or “terrorist supporters”, but to ordinary citizens, accused, suspected, or almost at random.
I can say this with certainty, because the vast amount of the heightened internal security in the US has been and is now used almost exclusively against US citizens with no involvement in any form of terrorism or terrorism support.
In other words, the Patriot Act is a complete and utter fraud, perpetrated in bad faith, and the vast majority of it should be repealed as having nothing whatsoever to do with terrorism, and everything to do with the nullification of the Bill of Rights.
We now live in a police state, managed by authoritarians who turned our fears against us to enhance their own power and sense of control and domination.
