Quote:
It is a prison here in Baghdad. We are surrounded by concrete walls 12 feet tall, razor wire, and armed guards 24/7. All our movments are controlled. ... this is where we are headed.

You sound as if the fact that we are sliding into a police state doesn't bother you.

Quote:
Oops, the law has changed now, hasn't it.

But the Constitution hasn't.

The 4th amendment of the Constitution:
The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

When the US starts to look like Baghdad we will most certainly no longer be able to brag about being the "Land of the Free".
