As Oberman points out, John Adams used the Alien and Sedition Acts to jail thousands of newspaper journalists and Woodrow Wilson used the Espionage Act to indefinately jail thousands of anti-war protesters. These two instances and Roosevelt's executive order to suspend Habeas Corpus in order to imprison 110,000 Japanese Americans during WII are the only times in our history that Habeas Corpus has been suspended for American citizens. Until now that is....

I think they should make a law that it is illegal for politicians to lie to the public. Although I'm not in favor of the death penalty, I wouldn't be opposed to it being used for this specific crime, if it is proven that such a lie either caused or had something to do with the death of Americans or American involvement in a war.
