The Disappeared
Nice article here looking at some of the (estimated) 2000 people disappeared by the US justice system since September 11th. I note that the LA mass detentions recently spread to the Bay Area when forced detentions of Muslims began in earnest in San Jose. Hundreds were detained and trucked down to LA for “processing”.

LONDON – Police using ladders and battering rams raided a London mosque — a known center of radical Islam led by a suspected terrorist — and arrested seven men early Monday in connection with the recent discovery of the deadly poison ricin.
Dozens of officers wearing bulletproof vests stormed the red-brick Finsbury Park mosque and two neighboring houses just after 2 a.m., as circling helicopters shined spotlights on the buildings below.
Police seized computers and documents, and found a stun gun, an illegal canister of CS gas, similar to pepper spray, and a blank-firing imitation gun.
They found no evidence of ricin in the mosque, where previous worshippers include shoe-bomber Richard Reid and extremists who plotted to blow up the U.S. Embassy in Paris, officials say.
The eagerness of UK police and extra-judicial types to detain large numbers of people in the hope of catching a single guilty person comes as no surprise to this Irish person, who grew up during a time when hundreds of thousands of innocent Irish were illegally detained by British troops and customs types under their “Prevention of Terrorism” Act.
“illegally detained by British troops”? Judges are always biased, the question is… are they biased in a way that you approve of? Objective legal opinion is an oxymoron.
