HSA: The Rise of the American Police State

Jennifer Van Bergen, a contributing editor of Criminal Defense Weekly, critiques the recently passed Homeland Security Act (HSA) in a three-part series on Truthout.

Part 1 reviews the origins of the Act in the Hart-Rudman Commission and the Council on Foreign Relations. Part 2 discusses Cheney's plan for global dominance and how that relates to homeland security. Part 3 details some of the HSA provisions themselves and briefly discusses what worries civil libertarians.
