none of these unlikely scenarios, inc yours, justifies the withdrawl of citizen's rights allowed in the patriot act.
you know, if the kid wasn't denied due process we would know all the "sides to the story". the government would be required to go to a court and reveal the case against him, and the kid and his family would have the opportunity to address/challenge those charges.

The same due process that these terrorists are affording us. Let's not forget, this kid is somehow involved or they would not go after him.
Obviously I had more faith in the previous administration to track down terrorist, but I have to believe that the current administration is using this to defend this nation and that there is a legit threat.
We simply have a fundamental difference in terms of believing and trusting those who serve this nation.
