12 "The Bill of Rights Defense Committee (BORDC) is creating a Human Rights Abuse Database with the stories of hundreds of individuals whose lives have been harshly affected or ruined entirely by U.S. government policies since 9/11."?

14 See Michael Powell's Washington Post article where he describes the government's approach to this case as "shadow boxing"? for a description of the arrest. "High-Profile N.Y. Suspect Goes on Trial: Arrest Was Called Part of War on Terrorism, but Doctor Faces Other Charges"?

15 Dr. Rafil Dhafir, an upstate New York oncologist, was charged for white-collar crimes but sentenced to 22 years as a national security threat.
Everything mentioned in this article is simply the continuation of long standing southern "justice". the U.S. has many years of practice in this denial of due process. It was used against the Blacks in the southern U.S. for a century and still continues. This type of denail of true justice will haunt the U.S. for many years as the blowback will be extreme. Many foreign countries are looking at the U.S. askance at the lack of due process. Soon America will not be able to extradite any "criminal" wanted by the justice department because no country will trust the U.S. to dispense justice.
