Say if mohammad Atta was caught the morning of Sept. 11. What would you charge him with? Trying to take a knife on a plane?

I've done that.

Having literature that talks about Jihad?

That's not illegal.

Your way we'd let him go.

When european countries try these guys they are released. the laws don't respond to the reasons we want them locked up. the reason is they are at war with us, but not in uniform. We are confronted by things we are not presently legally equipped to deal with. I would rather fuck up the lives of some innocents snatched from an Afghan battlefield, then have the Sears tower crumble to the ground next year.

Maybe you can find a long blog cite to show how unreasonable my position is?

I'll settle for merely asking you what that does to our ability to protest in good faith when China decides it would rather lock up a bunch of American "agitators" than have another Tienanmen Square rebellion?
