Lost Liberties
Apparently McCarthyism has resurfaced as Ashcroftism, only this time it's not the Communists we are worried about. Ever since Sept. 11, America has been fueled with anti-Arab sentiments. Throw in the second Iraq war, Palestinian suicide bombers, and other terrorists, and you have a breeding ground for culture-based hate. Apparently, not even US Citizens are safe from this new round of deportations and round-ups. After reading the article on deportation in Salon.com's Lost Liberties section, I was simply appalled that this is happening again. The story talks about one Muslim family, some of which are US Citizens, that was deported during the latest round of the US's "terrorist cleansing."
