Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

ARAB AMERICAN HELD WITHOUT DUE PROCESS
On Thursday morning, March 20, Mike Hawash, a long-time Intel employee was arrested outside their offices. He was taken into custody by the FBI and members of the Joint Terrorism Task Force. The employer later learned that he was being "detained" as a material witness. Simultaneously, FBI agents in bulletproof vests and carrying M-16s woke the man's wife and three children in their home, searched it for four hours, and presented her with a grand jury subpoena.
All of the court documents in this case are sealed. He was held incommunicado from his wife and attorneys for several days. When they did contact him, neither he, his attorneys, nor anyone else knows why he is being detained. Hawash is a long-time U.S. citizen, originally of Palestinian birth and previously of Jordanian nationality. He has been a U.S. citizen for many years, having attended college in Texas. He has worked for Intel on and off for 10 years. Visit this webpage for more information. (or See Oregonian story unearthed by Paul Whitehurst)
