The author choose not to have it released via B&N or Amazon per iUniverse. Political
motivation or just a cheapskate? You decide. Regardless, it is a lie.

If you would like, you can call them yourself and ask. The phone number for iUniverse is 1-800-AUTHORS. No, really, call them and ask if it was ever distributed by Amazon or B&N and
they will tell you it wasn’t, as it was a “fast Track” publication.

Coincidence?

Disinformation and lies..all in the name of selling a book and spreading fear.

Whatever happened to intergrity?

I am, however, very concerned that detainees accused of terrorism get something resembling a fair trial. We’ve seen too many innocent people pass through Guantanamo, and those people should be able to challenge their detention. I don’t believe we’ve yet reached the point where we need to throw out the rule of law (PDF) in dealing with terrorism.

It doesn't guarantee those rights to a fair trial, free speech, etc., to U.S. citizens. It guarantees them to <em>the people</em>. That's everyone, citizen or not. I see no good reason for the U.S. to sink to the level of other countries when dealing with terrorism suspects. You seem to have missed something important in the Constitution.
