John McCain and Joe Lieberman, the bill would give the United States government the power to indefinitely detain terror suspects without charge or trial. It would also allow the government to interrogate them for the intelligence value and it doesnt make a distinction between US citizens and non-citizens.

This is a very interesting piece of news and a topic that needs discussion. Thanks for posting.
But I think that you should change the thread title and get it moved to a different forum. A little misleading, if you ask me, as the truth movement is only mentioned in passing.
This is really a general civil liberties issue.

Police act swiftly after gun purchases
Concerns about an Oregon Department of Transportation employee who purchased several guns after being placed on leave prompted law enforcement across Southern Oregon to step in.
Negotiators and a SWAT team from Medford police safely took a man — whose name wasn't released — into protective custody Monday morning in the 500 block of Effie Street, Medford police said in a news release.
He was taken to Rogue Valley Medical Center for a mental-health evaluation.
The man recently had been placed on administrative leave from his job and was "very disgruntled," the news release said.
ODOT Communications Director Patrick Cooney said there were administrative, personnel matters involved that limited what the department could discuss.
However, the state agency had reported concerns about the man to law enforcement agencies, who started monitoring him, officials said.
"We had concerning information regarding a personnel issue and were watching the subject," Jackson County Sheriff Mike Winters said.
In two days, the man bought a Heckler & Koch .45-caliber universal self-loading handgun, a Walther .380-caliber handgun and an AK-47 assault rifle, Medford police Lt. Bob Hansen said. All of those firearms were purchased legally, with required record checks by the Oregon State Police.
Authorities were "extremely concerned" that the man may have been planning to retaliate against his employers, the news release said.
"Instead of being reactive, we took a proactive approach," OSP Sgt. Jeff Proulx said.

Being a TRUTHER is in itself a sort of life sentence.And it changes you,you sleep less(1/2 past midnight here)So the real question is I suppose the following:Are we terrorists in their eyes because of what we might do in response to the bad news of MIHOP,or is the spreading acceptance that it was an inside job what they fear?Because if the latter,this genie is too big now to put back in the bottle.Even harder than fitting flight 77 in the hole.
Like we gonna do a Winston Smith and be gutted mentally and the shell of the person returned to a sort of place in Society,with no reason to exclaim,"but 2+2=4!".Instead,we'd be,"I guess they DID just sorta fall down,I dunno,they're tall and it's SO complicated.Let's go to the 'feelies'''Yeccch The Founders would be rolling in their graves.

All I gotta say about this is:
They better build lots of prisons cuz the latest CNN Polls
show that 86% of Americans DO NOT believe the
OS of 9/11.
That's roughly 400 Million Americans

I have been saying that the United States is heading for the darkest times ever.
People need to start waking up and fast, because it looks like a fascist government has taken control of congress.
I just cannot believe Americans are just going to sit back and let congress pass this illegal legislation against the American people.
Looks to me in a few more years the United States will be no different from North Korea or Iran.
Dose anyone have a copy of this bill I would like to read it.
