A Justice Department plan would loosen restrictions on the Federal Bureau of Investigation to allow agents to open a national security or criminal investigation against someone without any clear basis for suspicion, Democratic lawmakers briefed on the details said Wednesday.

Its all a plan for the coming

civil unrest as the economy unravels, I am sure even every one of our posts are in a database already identifying us potential "terrorists" or "persons of interest". Government is out to protect itself and its corporate supporters. These things do not happen in a vacuum. NYC and DC are now rings of steel and its spreading to most major cities. They are spending money they do not have to protect themselves. Its fairly obvious the America our grandarents knew is gone, government knows it, and you should too. We are all being profiled, not just some student from the middle east and now the FEDS want help doing it from local law enforcement. Free expression of thought will not be outlawed but recorded in a database instead and a varying colored flag will denote those the government feels have the most propensity for violence or domestic terrorism as the sh*t hits the fan, and it surely will. I am sure all Ron Paul supporters under 60 will get a nice "red" flag.

Let's not pretend we have any civil liberties left. The government can designate anyone - U.S. citizen or not - an "enemy combatant" and then ship them off to an overseas "secret" CIA prison to never be heard from again.

Somehow I doubt that when the founding fathers coined the term "probable cause" they were thinking of Cherthoff's gut feelings. How nice to know I could spend the rest of my life in Gitmo because Cherthoff decided to try chile relleno for the first time...
