Olbermann: The Beginning of the End of America and the Death of Habeas Corpus

"Those who would give up Essential Liberty to purchase a little Temporary Safety deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." -Ben Franklin

A video that you must watch, and send to your friends: Keith Olbermann on the death of Habeas Corpus and the end of America. I'm surprised to see this on mainstream media, but here it is.



If you have a slower connection, you can go to youtube.com homepage and watch here. For a little background, watch this.

A quote:

"We have handed a blank check, drawn against our own freedom, to a man who may now, if he so decides, declare not merely any non-American citizens unlawful enemy combatants and ship them somewhere, anywhere, but may now, if he so decides, declare you an unlawful enemy combatant and send you somewhere, anywhere."

Keep Derrick Jensen in mind:

“Those of us in the United States…who are at least somewhat privileged…must recognize that in a world of shrinking resources it is only a matter of time until the guns are turned on us.”
