[lbo-talk] Enemy Aliens: Double Standards and Constitutional Freedoms in the War on Terrorism by David Cole

[Michael Pugliese]

As of last May, 2,747 aliens had been detained under the special 
registration program that nearly ensnared Ejaz Haider. Putting them 
together with those picked up in the first Ashcroft program after September 
11, and with another special detention effort, Cole estimates that at least 
five thousand people have been detained. Four have been charged in 
connection with terrorism; of those, two were acquitted, one pleaded 
guilty, and one was convicted of support of unspecified terrorism.
