Former Intel Employee 'Disappeared' by U.S.
pmodern writes "Wired has this story about Maher "Mike" Hawash a former Intel programmer who is being held by the DOJ for suspected terrorism. Anyone familiar with the Kevin Mitnick saga will not be surprised that he hasn't been charged and has been locked away in solitary. 'For nearly two weeks, he has been held as a so-called "material witness" in solitary confinement in a federal lockup in Sheridan, Oregon. The designation allows authorities to hold him indefinitely without charging him with a crime.'" See also a NYT article and the Free Mike Hawash website.
I wonder where the goverment got their "Intel" from.
No seriously folks, I'm here all week
this story breaks the surface of the mainstream media to become a potential source of embarrassment about how the Land of the Free and the Home of Brave is treating detainess, then Plan B will be put into effect. and it will be time for a commercial break on CNN.

Lucky for you, you live in Canada or I would have you arrested on making Anti-american (terrorist) statements!!
Free Kevin^H^H^H^H^HMike!
This extra long bumper sticker will go well on all those huge SUVs Americans enjoy so much.
Curmudgeon Gamer: Not happy
After 9/11, Bush made two statements:
1. "Terrorists hate America because America is a land of freedom and opportunity."
2. "We intend to attack the root causes of terrorism."
Sounds like everything is going according to plan.

Unfortunaltey it's a spreading disease. If it can happen here why couldn't it happen somewhere else?

America is supposed to be the Home of the Free and Land of the Brave. At least it was until the last few years.
Makes you wonder why we are allowing our politicians to destroy what so many have worked to build.
Don't worry... some politician is probably reading this and getting ready to mod me down

Don't blame ME, I voted for KODOS.
Don't worry - once the Reich has completely suppressed all opposition here, they will come to Canada looking for Lebensraum.
Everyone will start to cheer when you put on your sailin' shoes.

Here we go, he's being held in holding cell 44a, sub-level 4 on an "abandoned" oil rig in the Gulf of Mexico.
He's ok for now, but they're not letting him have any smokes. He hasn't even been given his entry processing interrogation yet.
So quit whining, or you're next!

This is a problem for me. I have also sent money to an organization that has funded countless terrorist connections, and conducted assassinations and bombings all over the globe:
I paid my federal income taxes.

The U.S. government is becoming increasingly corrupt.
Are you suggesting that it ever had a negative slope?

Panama, 1989. The U.S. government called it "Operation Just Cause". The link is to a U.S. military web site
I think they misspelled this. Shouldn't it be "Operation Just 'Cause"?
Its actually all to help the economy.
1) Make example of guy who donates to charity
2) Scare people into holding onto income
3) Tax people on said income
4) Profit.

I'm reminded of a brilliant cartoon in the New Yorker some years back. It showed a couple of pandas in a cage, and one says, "If, as you say, it's no crime to be a panda, how do you explain the fact that we were arrested?"
Also, Keven was part of the "Hacker Community." Maher was a suit at Intel.

It has come to our attention that you have used "Bush" and "legitimate target" in the same sentence. You are quite obviously a terrorist, and we would appreciate it if you would report to the nearest detention center, so that we don't have to go through the trouble of tracking you down and shooting you to death for "resisting arrest".
Have a nice day,...
I've been called a "Fucking Dick" by better people than you.
