or ... Hell, Oh police state!
War, if you read history, always has a corrosive effect of liberty.
The ruling elite a rounding the wagons to make sure that nothing topples them from their lofty positions. Was OWS the catalyst for draconian legislation as some suggest or was this already the road we're already on as others have warned since the manipulated election of 2000.
The special treatment that some people get when picked up on the battle field? Even those people who are American citizens? Well, now the battlefield includes the whole of the United States. Levin and McCain introduced it, Gingrich thinks it's great. The army can pick up trouble makers and use their procedures to make them disappear. That makes everyone more secure, no?
Well, it isn't the law just yet, but unless there is some more effective opposition it's only a matter of time.

The principle that war leads inevitably to the erosion and eventual destruction of our constitutional form of government is being dramatized on the floor of Congress even as I write these words.
