when journalism becomes terrorism?

Date: March 13, 2003 | 9 Muharram 1424 Hijriah
Blog: veiled4allah
Subjects: media, hype
Ben Hammersley has a good post about the Seymour Hersh/Richard Perle flap, with some background information on Hersh.

It seems that Hersh accused Perle of having a conflict of interest and Perle in return accused Hersh of being a terrorist. Is it just me, or does throwing around the word "terrorist" like this diminish its meaning?

A more serious question: if it was Ashcroft calling Hersh a terrorist, or Bush, does that mean that Hersh could be stripped of his rights under the Patriot Act (not to mention what would happen to him under the proposed Patriot Act II)? I trust that Perle was just making a little joke.

Yes. If it was Bush or Ashcroft, he could be stripped of his rights. In fact, through the PATRIOT act, he already has been stripped of them. So have you and I, and every American citizen. The word Citizen means now only that you have the right to have your own government accuse, try, and sentence you, without any due process, or even any charges being brought against you. Scary times we live in.
