I agree with Mark about what the speaker, Peggy, said about the attacks on food supplies to a point. It is indeed a very serious threat that can be dangerous, but it is not a case on how the terrorists would get into the grocery stores. The real problem is how to prevent them from getting to the food before it gets to the grocery stores. That is how they will strike and it needs to be taken seriously. I also agree with Adam when he talks about Joseph T. Barnes. He talks about a period in time of war, people getting taken off streets without seeing a lawyer and also put on a military base for trials, etc. When he asks if it is a war or crime, I have to agree, it is very wrong. People should not be tried under military power but under civil law. I also agree with the former attorney general, Viet D. Dinh, when he speaks of a 6th generation Lebanese American named Narrir. He was pulled out of line at an airport in the United States coming from Europe because of the high interests he had in Islamic movements. As Adam says it, . Authorities detained him out of suspicion “to diminish the risk of taking any catastrophic harm”. They can investigate and question but they cannot arrest him for anything. Under the U.S. law, he cannot get a lawyer while this is happening and Eric Holder and I think he should definitely be able to have one. The civil liberty in this situation is not how it is supposed to work.
