American Torture and Freedom of Speech

Torture is wrong because it is a violation of all the civil rights central to our constitution.

The American populace needs to realize that if we allow the government to torture foreign nationals it is only a matter of time before it begins to torture American citizens in the name of national security.

The Supreme Court, in ruling upon the internment camps holding Japanese American Citizens in World War II, upheld this infringement upon civil liberties in the name of national security.

This leaves open the door for the military to similarly violate the civil liberties of citizens deemed terrorists or insurgents, to hold them against their will and potentially to torture them.

Domestic terrorist groups have begun to be identified such as the liberal Earth Liberation Front.

Should I be afraid to voice these concerns lest I be labeled a terrorist insurgent threat to national security?
