Adam Habib is the man at the centre of a storm surrounding United States’ government ideological exclusions resulting from the Patriot Act and continued onslaught by the Bush administration on academic and intellectual freedom. As a blogger who believes strongly in these rights as well as the right to freedom of association — an important ingredient behind the democratic process, — and also somebody who is affected ( I have had the opportunity to shake hands with Habib, — what Condeleeza Rice calls the enemy), I urge readers to support the present application before the US justice system.
