He meddled and partially removed a couple of rights as I recall, Jaack.
Like for instance, the insurgents aren't any longer considered PoWs when they are captured, but funny that, they also aren't considered any other form of person, and no laws apply to their captivity. Obviously they cannot be released, so don't suggest that I support such a ludicrous stance, if you wouldn't mind.
If you are peacefully protesting, you are applicable to be detained as an unlawful enemy combatant, at which point, you also have no rights. They give them to you, but not as rights, as privileges, since you're an unlawful enemy combatant. Then you go on a terror list. Wow, what a nice freedom filled change Bush brought to America!
Before Bush was in office, you knew that if you disagreed with the government and picketed, you definitely would not be held indefinitely or considered a terrorist. Now you can't.
Too me, that sounds like it is a little bit of a social degradation, as far as I can tell, with less of your freedoms and rights.
Oh, and also less real safety too!
