Due Process
A troubling story from Stuart Taylor, via The Volokh Conspiracy. If this is true, this is sad news regarding the way the USA is treating even suspected terrorists. I believe strongly that every criminal-- even terrorists-- deserve due process. If, as believed, they are terrorists, they will be dealt with. If, on the other hand, they are victims of mistaken identity, they can as it currently stands be cast into a "Kafkaesque" (Taylor's word) world of permanant jails and privation without appeal or recourse.
This is on of the many ways in which the US must watch its step, or risk sinking to the level of the people we are fighting.
