NOVANEWS
by Stephen Lendman
Last September, marking the 9/11 tenth anniversary, the ACLU published a report titled, A Call to Courage: Reclaiming Our Liberties Ten Years After 9/11.”
Who then could have imagined America engaged in:
-
out-of-control imperial lawlessness;
-
torture as official policy;
-
extraordinary renditions;
-
targeted killings;
-
warrantless searches;
-
other privacy invasions;
-
falsified national security concerns;
-
war on terror fear-mongering;
-
military commission trials, including for US citizens;
-
domestic military force deployments;
-
secret FEMA concentration camps;
-
pervasive homeland surveillance;
-
racial profiling and persecution for political advantage;
-
militarizing local police;
-
indefinitely detaining US citizens in military prisons on spurious terrorist connection allegations; and
-
turning America into a full-blown police state.
