Turley,Jonathan

From 911Encyclopedia:

A Jonathan Turley column in the national edition of the August 14, 2002 Los Angeles Times ("Camps for Citizens: Ashcroft's Hellish Vision") called for the resignment of John Ashcroft. "Attorney General John Ashcroft's announced desire for camps for U.S. citizens he deems to be 'enemy combatants' has moved him from merely being a political embarrassment to being a constitutional menace." Two American citizens--Yaser Esam Hamdi and Jose Padilla--are currently locked up in military brigs as "enemy combatants."

As Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe said on ABC's Nightline (August 12, 2002): "It bothers me that the executive branch is taking the amazing position that just on the president's say-so, any American citizen can be picked up, not just in Afghanistan, but at O'Hare Airport or on the streets of any city in this country, and locked up without access to a lawyer or court just because the government says he's connected somehow with the Taliban or Al Qaeda. That's not the American way. It's not the constitutional way. . . Jonathan Turley is a professor of constitutional and public-interest law at George Washington University Law School in D.C
