I can be as cynical and sarcastic as you can Timber

THE FIRST JUDICIALLY-APPROVED SECRET JAILING. I am not cynical or sarcastic. I am seriously worried. Jailing people without levelling charges??? They can do it to you, too.
So, I'm watching Law & Order the other night. Since my wife's a prosecutor, we tend to watch this a lot, me yelling about injustice and abuse of rights and her smiling smugly. Anywho, the FBI arrests our intrepid hero detectives. In one scene, one of them says "Charge me or let me go. I'm leaving."
The FBI agent smugly replies "No you're not, since 9/11 I can keep you 72 hours without charging you."
The use of tragedy to justify a police state? That's not the US. Not my US. And I am getting violently angry over it.
