The USA is a dictatorship, thank the Bush Crime Family

They finally legalized torture. Here's what you get with the latest "happy meal" courtesty of the Republican congress and the Bush Crime Family:

HR 6166 and S 3930 will do the following:

revoke habeas corpus

create a secret committee appointed by Bush and Rumsfeld that has the power to declare any person - even a US citizen - to be an enemy, instantly depriving them of their legal rights. There will be no appeal allowed.

allow police to search through your home without a search warrant

end protection of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions

give George W. Bush amnesty for any war crimes he has committed

allow for people to be put on trial in front of a kangaroo court military tribunal, even if they aren’t in any military, and have not engaged in military attacks against the USA

allow the government to convict people of crimes on the basis of secret evidence that the accused never sees

make it legal for the government to use testimony extracted through torture

end the legal right to be protected from forced self-incrimination

allow the government to imprison people without telling them what crimes they are being charged with

remove the right to cross-examine witnesses

allow for the records of trials to be kept secret from the American public

enable trials to begin even before a thorough investigation of the alleged crime has taken place

take away the right to a speedy trial, allowing people to fester behind bars without being charged of any crime

Join a local protest this thursday October 5th, let the Bush Crime Family know that you won't take this stripping of our civil liberties lying down.
