Engelsksproget artikel, der stiller skarpt på det tilsyneladende forfald i de Vestlige demokratier, dog overvejende I USA, hvor der livligt i nyhedsmedierne gås op i sladder og ligegyldige udsving i kandidaternes stemmeandelsprognoser, men ikke er meget tale om eller debat af den lovgivsningsproces som løbende fjerner borgerrettighederne under fødderne på folket.
Uddrag:
This December, as many Americans attended to their rituals of shopping, spectator sports and celebrity voyeurism, the 2012 fiscal year’s National Defense Authorization Act was passed by the U.S. Congress. It has now been signed into law by President Obama. This legislation has attracted some controversy, if characteristically muted, thanks to one of its provisions in particular. The U.S. military will be granted the power to detain citizens on the soil of the Land of the Free for indefinite periods of time. All that’s needed to do away with due process is the suspicion of involvement with “terrorism”, an activity elastically defined[1].
Problemet er dog alment gældende - dvs. ej blot et Amerikansk problem.
