Sometines we knowsomeone is bad, and the types of bad guys we have floating around are a different breed of bad guys. If the government can't hold the people it knows (or strongly suspects) are of this breed, pretty much they will walk. and maybe that is cool becasue it is necessary to protect con. rights, but I will not let Ty and NB ignore that letting them walk is a certain result of rulings such as the one Ty hails.
now you're trying to trick me so i can't get better schwarma than all of you. i ain't falling for that.

I'd rather take my chances with a few terrorists than with a state that can seize anyone, anytime, anywhere, and hold them without right to counsel, due process, or even letting them know what they are accused of and what, if any evidence there is against them.
You, on the other hand, seem to be advocating one step beyond that. You are arguing that the state whould be able to hold people without any evidence against them.
I'd let OBL himself walk before I'd agree that that is anything but a declaration of war against the American people by their own government.
