"Free Mike Hawash" Site Launched
The Free Mike Hawash Web page is tracking the case of Maher "Mike" Hawash, an Oregon resident and US citizen who's being held without bail in a Federal prison as a "material witness" to a terrorism case. He hasn't been charged with anything, and all the warrants and subpoenas under which he's being held are secret.
Bix has pictures of Monday's "pro-Mike" rally in Portland, plus some links of his own.

As the judge points out in his order, Hawash's detention was never a secret. He is being held under a statute that has been on the books in its present form for nearly 20 years, and has been around a long time in other forms. He is being held in solitary BY CHOICE. He has lawyers and his family is allowed to visit him. Hmm, sounds like due process to me. It's certainly more due process than 3000 people in the WTC got before their executions at the hands of people Hawash probably supports.
Hawash's detention was not random. Those charged with fighting the war on terror have a very good reason for doing what they are doing.
Now if you want to talk about a perversion of justice, let's talk about the use of the RICO statutes to suppress anti-abortion activity. Or how about HUD levying fines on folks for protesting their decisions. Yep, the left is all for democracy, free speech and due process--until you disagree with them.

You people don't know whether he is innocent or guilty, and guess what that means? That means he is to be presumed innocent. That is what America is all about. God protect us from idiots that are willing to undermine such fundamental pillars of our judicial system. To act as if national security can only be achieved by detaining americans without charges exposes you as what you are: Morons. Yepp, the right is all about american values and the constitution as long as it pertains to those who agree with them....

MARINE, I myself, am a Marine - inactive reserves, now.
I don't appreciate Marines being called morons, but sometimes, you have to fault the Marine. Do you even remember the oath you swore? Have you even READ the Constitution of this once-great country? I say once-great, because it's not the United States founded on the Constitution anymore, it's been violated way too much.
Anyways - he's presumed innocent, indeed, and I'm giving Maher the benefit of the doubt, but I found something interesting while researching this case a little bit.. His availability date on the Software Contractor's Guild website:
http://www.scguild.com/Resume/6775I.html
September 10th, 2001. It's not been updated in quite a while. What happened? Why was he planning on being available for hire on September 10th?

This is SOOOOOO typical of the leftist "feelies".
"Oooow, mean is bad" "Pretty is good". They don't want the truth they just want to feel good about having a higher moral stance.
But what they don't get is this...There is no foundation for any moral stance unless somehow, some where, there is a fixed standard of right and wrong.
If there is NOT, then only a fool can suggest that it is wrong to kill, rape, steal, etc. If there is no standard then it is just an opinion.
Mikey looked good and sounded good..so he *must* be good. These same idiots actually listen to celebrities political opinions even though almost none of them even went to university.
25% to 35% of the people are too stupid to vote.
Watch all the national and world polls. No matter how foolish the question... 25 to 35 out of 100 people will choose the utterly illogical position.
25% of the french believe america bombed the twin towers...It would be hysterical if it were not so scary.
Those of us that think, and seek the truth, and refuse to believe the easy 'pretty' lies, must remember that the world is full of people that have a violent aversion to the truth. To them black is white and wrong is right. We must not be passive. We must not accept any of their suggested compromises. We can not relinquish any of the truth. We can not give up our freedoms for peace. Truth makes us free. Seek it, defend it, and don't let the patients get control of the asylum.
