Where is the major news coverage on Mike Hawash? A US Citizen, family man, and software designer for Intel, he’s been detained in solitary confinement by the FBI as a ‘material witness’ for almost two weeks now. First seen yesterday on Warblogging.com.
Mike has not been charged with a crime and all of the evidence used against him has been sealed by a federal court at the request of the Department of Justice. He will not be judged by a jury of his peers. He as not even been accused of doing anything wrong. He is being detained based on a twisted application of the material wtiness statute, which was originally intended for use to prevent witnesses to a crime from fleeing to avoid testifying in court.
This is ricockulous. This is shameful. This is unacceptable. This is unamerican.
