NOTES ON THE LATEST UPDATE

This update adds something I've been meaning to add for a long time: a new color thread relating to the erosion of civil liberties and the erection of a police state. It is becoming increasingly obvious that one major and far from necessary effect of 9/11 has been these dramatic changes inside the US, so they're a necessary part of this timeline. Unfortunately, the many new entries on this theme are but a small part of the entries I have material to do, so look for more of these entries in the next update. This new theme now has its own page. There's quite a lot of material on the theme of US global domination as well, which seems especially appropriate as the war on Iraq continues. Thanks again to Melissa Kavonic for proofreading.



NEW AND UPDATED ENTRIES RELATING TO REDUCED CIVIL LIBERTIES

September 18, 2001 (B): The Justice Department publishes an interim regulation allowing non-citizens suspected of terrorism to be detained without charge for 48 hours or "an additional reasonable period of time" in the event of an "emergency or other extraordinary circumstance." [New York Times, 9/19/01 (C)] The new rule is used to hold hundreds indefinitely until the Patriot Act passes in October (see October 26, 2001), providing more solid grounds to hold non-citizens without charge.
