The Detainee Torture Act of 2006

What does the new Detainee Torture Act of 2006 get us?  This (according to Amnesty International):

  • Secret detention
  • Enforced disappearance
  • Torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment
  • Outrages upon personal dignity, including humiliating treatment
  • Denial and restriction of habeas corpus
  • Indefinite detention without charge or trial
  • Prolonged incommunicado detention
  • Arbitrary detention
  • Unfair trial procedures

Here is the roll call vote in the Senate.  Here is the same for the House of Representatives.  Where was your congressman on this issue?  BTW, if anyone EVER asks you why, by not supporting this law, you support the rights of terrorists, say this:  It is not about the rights of terrorists.  It is about the rights of those unjustly accused of being a terrorist.
