In the name of "fighting Al Qaeda or associated forces" or those who "support" those bad guys, the U.S. government has authorized:
- Assassinating people anywhere in the world without due process or even a legal charge . . .
- including U.S. citizens living on American soil
- Indefinitely detaining any American - without trial (and see this)
- Torturing people . . .
- including Americans living on American soil
- Labeling virtually any American as a "terrorist"
In other words, the government has shredded our constitution and destroyed our freedom and liberties in order to fight Al Qaeda and associated forces.
