Renditions continue under Obama, despite due-process concerns

The three European men with Somali roots were arrested on a murky pretext in August as they passed through the small African country of Djibouti. But the reason soon became clear when they were visited in their jail cells by a succession of American interrogators.

U.S. agents accused the men — two of them Swedes, the other a longtime resident of Britain — of supporting al-Shabab, an Islamist militia in Somalia that Washington considers a terrorist group. Two months after their arrest, the prisoners were secretly indicted by a federal grand jury in New York, then clandestinely taken into custody by the FBI and flown to the United States to face trial. . .

Despite all their false rhetoric, Obama and Eric Holder have retained many of the Bush-era legal tools for fighting terrorism.

Brad from Tennessee~:” Despite all their false rhetoric, Obama and Eric Holder have retained many of the Bush-era legal tools for fighting terrorism.”

Not only has the ‘Emperor” , and his sargent-at-arms, The ‘Sheriff of Rottingham ‘ kept the tools , they have been expanded by Congress.

According to the sheriff (Holder):” ...Due Process and Judicial process are not one and the same, particularly when it comes to national security. The Constitution guarantees due process, it does not guarantee Judicial process . “ ~ Eric holder

I guess ‘kangaroo courts’ and courts of community selected persons might be appropriate according to the above quoted source.
Now that the ‘National Defense Act’ allows for indefinite internment of American citizens , without trial , this is more and more reminiscient of a dictatorship , soon to be followed by FEMA Camps , and possible execution squads .
Hail to Der Fuhrer !!
