What has happened to America?

P2PNet features an astonishing story about the loss of many things that have in the past characterized the free country we once knew as America. In the wake of the digital age, rather than embracing and capitalizing on its promises, USA and its former character of freedom is being locked down.

Quoting:

"Last week, the President signed into law, legislation that formally eliminates the American concept of Habeas Corpus. Somewhere, sometime, between the time Congress voted to legislate the Military Commissions Act of October 17, 2006, and the government signed it, the wording of that law changed.

The published law reads, now, that any citizen, anywhere, including you and I, will no longer enjoy the explicit language of our Constitution which states, "The Privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public Safety may require it." Although there was a concerted effort of omission on the part of our country's major media providers to withhold that news, some have become aware. Can you hear quiet songs of lament in the background?" -- So Long America
