wow. They're not proven terrorists, they're just in jail basically b/c of the color of their skin. They are not charged with anything and probably never will be since the goverment doesn't know what to charge them with or they already would have done so. They're just there as suspected terrorists with no evidence except the color of their skin. Racism?

Would you rather the risk of another 9-11 happening? Would that make you and your liberal friends happy?

The principles of American justice should not be trampled on under the guise of "protecting" us. The slippery slope will ultimately leave all of us with fewer constitutional protections if actions such as this are allowed to continue. The SCOUS said as much when they ordered the Bush Administration to either charge the individuals being held or release them.

Sugar coat this all you want Mavdog, but this is simply a security measure that keeps us all safer. And there's no way you can disprove that human lives are more important than human feelings.

"sugar coat"? you missed the point!
Your response is similar to what the German population expressed as the Nazis rounded up those who were labeled as dangerous...the jews, the gypsys, those who the government wished to remove from their society.
Our government MUST follow the basic rules of justice. Indefinite confinement without a hearing before a court is illegal, is dangerous, and should NEVER be condoned.
If the person being held is a danger, the government must show why. If they don't have the info on why they are presumed dangerous, why are they being held? Pretty simple concept really.
