This is how it can look; so pay attention!
American Justice may now be pursued by govt without what Prez Bush calls 'bad guys' hiding behind the US Constitution and its 'Bill of Rights' (1st ten amendments)
Much more below after this:
NEW YORK (CNN) -- Decrying the government's decision to transfer her client to the custody of the U.S. military, an attorney for Jose Padilla, the suspect in an alleged radioactive "dirty bomb" plot, urged a federal court Tuesday to release him.
Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said earlier Tuesday that Padilla -- who also goes by the name of Abdullah Al Muhajir -- may never face trial.
"Our interest is not in trying him and punishing him," Rumsfeld said. "Our interest is in finding out what he knows."
U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft said Padilla would be treated as an "enemy combatant" of the United States, a move that means he has fewer legal rights than an ordinary defendant in a criminal case. As an "enemy combatant," Padilla can be held indefinitely by the military.

So, what could American govt become like without its Constitution and 'bill of rights' to hold it back?
'History' shows how to interrogate and punish sans 'bill of rights'
Type the word 'punishment' in to the History Channel's site 'search' then click on:
Punishment Sat, June 15 1:00 PM
Saturday , June 15 01:00 PM - 03:00 PM Punishment
The definition and exercise of criminal punishment has changed dramatically during the course of history. From execution by wild animals during ancient Greek and Roman times to religious torture during the Inquisition using the most perverse instruments ever devise to the cruel and unusual punishments meted out by many nations to this day, we trace the often ironic history of man's perverted and creative attempts to bring about a more humane society.

As long as Americans are ok with govt engaging in 'war' without adhering to the US Constitution's prescribed process to either 'declare war' or 'issue letters of marque & reprisal' what's a little 'bill of rights' infringement. Hey, there's a 'war' remember; 'war on terrorism' 'war on drugs' and... you get the picture?
