My big concern is that there does need to be some provision to bring him to justice. Stipping him of his rights in such an arbitrary way goes beyond justice. At least have a hearing to do this and not just the word of the DOJ. It is very frightening that the government can label someone a terrorist, then hold him indefinitely without any form of appeal. In the future this can lead to all kinds of abuse by less scrupulous administrations. I'm sure Bill and Hitlary would love to have done this to some of their opposition.
I think this guy should be held incommunicato in order to extract whatever information can be gained, but after that, he needs to be put on trial like Johnny Taliban. Otherwise, why should we even bother to defend our constitution if the government can, at their own questionable judgement and without appeal, suspend it? WHat if the government wants to go after someone here on FreeRepublic. What would you do if you were in that situation?
Apparently the guys attorney is in the process of doing that. I see no problem as long as the guy is represented by council and the council is actively pursing the mans legal avenues.
