I just wrote to my representative and senator in the state government, to urge them to look into what the state can do to resist cooperating with the Military Commissions Act of 2006. For those who missed it, this is the bill -- now law -- which legalizes many forms of torture and allows the President to designate anyone as an "unlawful enemy combatant" and detain them without due process or trial.

If you read this and live in the US, please do the same.

What gets me is that Specter said yesterday he voted for it but thinks it's unconstitutional and will be struck down. Um, then why tf did you vote for it? Arse.

This whole Military Commissions Act is so unbelievable...it's scary to think that we're all asleep and just letting this happen.
