enough evidence stacked against them to

What evidence are you talking about? You've already agreed that the government does not need to show evidence. You are willing to take the government's word that they are "enemy combatants."

We who call for an airing of evidence and some formal charges, before incarcerating an American citizen for life, are "with the terrorists" apparently.

It's difficult to argue with somebody who changes their position constantly.

And the point remains that profiling people before you search their luggage is not IN ANY WAY comparable to locking them up forever without lawyers or evidence or even charges leveled against them.

Your attempt to equate the two is asinine in the extreme.

dead-in a war, when unsuspecting innocents can be killed in mass numbers by vicious, unrelenting nutcases who are banded together in a group driven by hatred, the EVIDENCE RULES must be looked at with a lighter touch.
JUST like this war is unlike ANYOTHER, so is the rounding up of the enemy. If you cannot think in terms of changing the rules in order to protect our republic, instead, insisting on adhering to the excellent rules for proof that we are blessed to live with UNDER NORMAL CIRCUMSTANCES, then will you go down proud that you were unbending in your dedication to man made evidenciary rules even thos COMMON SENSE spoke to the threat, even as a city near you is melted down like so much wax?
