"Of U.S. citizens accused of supporting terrorism, Graham said before the Senate, "When they say, 'I want my lawyer,' you tell them, 'Shut up. You don't get a lawyer. You are an enemy combatant, and we are going to talk to you about why you joined Al Qaeda."

The CIA had torture sites setup all over Europe & the Middle East, so why did they make Guantanamo so public? To set precedence by getting US citizens to capitulate to constitutional rights violations under the guise of military "enemy combatants" introduced by military attorney Lindsey Graham.

Since when don't American citizens get access to an attorney under due process? Since the total & intentional abuse of FISA:

"The Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court was established by Congress in 1978. The Court entertains applications made by the United States Government for approval of electronic surveillance, physical search, and certain other forms of investigative actions for foreign intelligence purposes."

Most US targets are neither foreign nor have any knowledge or association with any terrorist organization, but that doesn't matter because you have no recourse once you have been permanently labeled an "enemy combatant" with no due process ever by the real terrorists who have taken control of our government. And no matter how you slice it, all of this is unconstitutional & therefore illegal. But if you can't even get it presented in a court of law, then you can't even defend your constitutional rights - all to plan long before 9/11 ever happened.

No wonder the US Marshals paraded a bomb-sniffing dog in front of me and kept close watch when I went to a SDTX attorney conference...
