Nor so. That's not a civil liberties infringmenr. Does it make you feel 
better that thousands of people are being held incommunicado for months 
without being charged, that lawyers are indictedfor counselling their 
clients, that the cops can search your house in secret without a warrant? 
That's police state stuff.
