As as symbol of democracy and liberty, we should not hold anyone, citizen or not, without due process. How can we claim that democracy is the greatest form of government when we show it in action by using taliban like tactics such as suspending all the rights of a person and arbitrarly holding them for as long as the government sees fit? If these clowns have done something wrong, then charge them and give them a fair trial. Show the world that despite horrible hardship and in difficult times, we still believe in the bill or rights and liberty. That is democracy, that is the law that ashcroft swore he would enforce, not change to his will.

OTOH, it is a bit discomforting to think that enemy combatants might get OJ's jurors.

Because we're right, dammit!    </sarcasm>
