Once the camps are operating, can General Ashcroft be restrained from 
detaining--not in these special camps, but in regular lockups--any American 
investigated under suspicion of domestic terrorism under the new, elastic 
FBI guidelines for criminal investigations? From page three of these 
Ashcroft terrorism FBI guidelines:

"The nature of the conduct engaged in by a [terrorist] enterprise will 
justify an inference that the standard [for opening a criminal justice 
investigation] is satisfied, even if there are no known statements by 
participants that advocate or indicate planning for violence or other 
prohibited acts." (Emphasis added.) That conduct can be simply 
"intimidating" the government, according to the USA Patriot Act.

The new Steven Spielberg-Tom Cruise movie, Minority Report, shows the 
government, some years hence, imprisoning "pre-criminals" before they 
engage in, or even think of, terrorism. That may not be just fiction, folks.
