You were talking about the government using their removal of Habeas
Corpus to intern those who speak out against them. I could give a shit
less about Sami al-Haj (generally speaking)... but I do care about what
few rights that we have left as American citizens.

        some spiritual alchemy, become convinced that they have willed
        and executed the deed themselves. They then, with the exception
        of a few malcontents, proceed to allow themselves to be
regimented,
        coerced, deranged in all the environments of their lives, and
turned
        into a solid manufactory of destruction toward whatever other
people
        may have, in the appointed scheme of things, come within the range
        of the Government's disapprobation...
