[...]Now there is JihadJane, JihadJamie and a myriad of other 
American citizens being brought to the vanguard of mainstream media. 
You can do five minutes of research and see how most of these people 
are mentally diminished fruit cakes who couldn't blow up an ant bed 
in their front yard, much less pose any threat whatsoever to the 
American people. But the media and the government do not care about 
these facts. They use these "domestic terrorists" to incite 
irrational fear in the populace in order to pass legislation 
detrimental to the Constitution, such as the "Enemy Belligerent 
Interrogation, Detention, and Prosecution Act of 2010" as currently 
proposed by Senators McCain and Lieberman. This is the most daunting 
piece of legislation that this country has ever seen. It removes the 
right to a trial for American Citizens and gives the government the 
authority to detain American Citizens indefinitely for "suspected 
terrorist activity." The legislation states that any citizen could be 
an "Enemy Belligerent" if you are of "potential intelligence value" 
or in "matters as the President considers appropriate." WHAT??!! How 
chilling is that? The President can deem anyone he wants to as an 
Enemy Belligerent and have them "detained" with no rights, no trial, 
indefinitely.

Nice, huh?
