”How the U.S. has mishandled the post-Sept. 11 detention process”

QUOTE
Here is a sampling of other complaints that are being investigated: An Egyptian citizen alleges that in a BOP facility, he was forced to undergo multiple and duplicative invasive body searches, denied the right to practice his religion, and forced to consume food prohibited by his religion. Another detainee alleges that an enforcement officer transferring him out of an INS facility, to another facility, held a loaded gun to his head and threatened him.

In another complaint – substantiated by the BOP – an inmate alleged that during a physical examination, a BOP physician told the inmate, "If I was in charge, I would execute everyone one of you . . . because of the crimes you all did." The same physician allegedly treated other inmates in a cruel and unprofessional manner.

Just before 9/11, the Supreme Court said the Fourteenth Amendment “applies to all persons within the United States, including aliens, whether their presence is lawful, unlawful, temporary, or permanent”. ZADVYDAS v. DAVIS et al Decided June 28, 2001

If Ashcroft can ignore the Constitution and SCOTUS to abuse aliens, he can do the same to U.S. citizens.
