are you kidding me?
convicted, yes...accused...I don't think so. Anyone can be accused of anything, revoking rights bc of that accusation is just absurd.
sorry, but w/out due process, our whole system of government fails, period.
just wait till you're the one accused and yes, that day would come.

The odds are that if you are accused, you are guilty. And besides, most people here are acting as if there are SWAT vans circling cities now rounding up upstanding citizens taking them to detention camps. That's obviously not the case. And if American citizens feel the need to take part in foreign struggles against the US, I think they shouldn't use the same system they attempted to fight against to hide behind when they are caught. Just because people can be accused of things doesn't mean that they will be. I remember much the same handwringing about the Patriot act, yet nobody I know has had their life affected whatsoever by it.
