Foundation for Economic Education

Permit me to state the obvious: The government shouldn t be allowed to imprison people indefinitely without charge or trial. It shouldn t be necessary to say this nearly 800 years after Magna Carta was signed and over 200 years after the Fifth Amendment was ratified.

The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress...
