| Civil libertarians and leading Democrats
decried the law as a violation of American values. The American Civil Liberties
Union said it was 'one of the worst civil liberties measures ever enacted
in American history.' Democratic Sen. Russ Feingold of Wisconsin said, 'We
will look back on this day as a stain on our nation's history.'
'It allows the government to seize individuals on American soil and detain them indefinitely with no opportunity to challenge their detention in court,' Feingold said. 'And the new law would permit an individual to be convicted on the basis of coerced testimony and even allow someone convicted under these rules to be put to death.' |
