Message below from Trustthepeople-Seattle about Bill Moyers show on
PBS etc.
"I think this is a quite radical proposal. It authorizes secret arrests. It
would give the Attorney General essentially
unchecked authority to deport anyone who he thought was a danger
to our economic interests. It would strip citizenship from people for
lawful political associations... And...it has not been put on the table so
there can be a discussion about it," said Dr. David Cole,
Georgetown University Law professor and author of Terrorism and
the Constitution. He assessed the document for NOW with Bill Moyers
and the Center for Public Integrity.
Tonight, on Friday, February 7 at 9 P.M. on PBS check local
listings at <A HREF="http://www.pbs.org/now/sched.html">
