Foreign Policy Threatens Our Freedom by Jacob G. Hornberger
These four pending legal cases provide good examples of how the U.S. government’s pro-empire and pro-interventionist foreign policy that holds our nation in its grip ultimately redounds to the detriment of the American people. That foreign policy is not only threatening the lives of the American people with the possibility of terrorist “blowback,” – and not only threatening the lives of U.S. military personnel and the people of Iraq – and not only gradually corrupting the inner spirit of the American people – and not only threatening the economic well-being of our country with out-of-control federal spending – it is also threatening the freedom of the American people through major federal assaults on civil liberties, as the Padilla, al-Marri, Abu Ali, and Moussaoui cases demonstrate.
