Ashcroft's plan, disclosed last week but little publicized, would allow him to order the indefinite incarceration of U.S. citizens and summarily strip them of their constitutional rights and access to the courts by declaring them enemy combatants.

The Supreme Court:

Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr., the high court's newest jurist, cast the tie-breaking vote for the majority that said government employers "need a significant degree of control over their employees' words and actions; without it, there would be little chance for efficient provision of public services."

Critics said the ruling could silence nearly all of the nation's 20 million civil servants, who now can be "disciplined" for exposing official abuse through their government positions.

I will tell you my final answer, right now Mr. Rumsfeld, "Give me liberty or give me death."

I will not give up my right to a free voice for a Rumsfeldian version of "1984".

If you really want to honor a veteran, don't give up your freedom!

Peace y'all.
