i would like to hope that our courts will not allow this. they have already showed a tendency to rein in some of the bush administration's worst excesses.

what really pisses me off is that the lack of evidence is really the lack of admissible evidence. because of their tactics in questioning and detaining these people, nothing they have will pass constitutional muster in a court. so, because they were too impatient to get evidence the proper way, we either have to release dangerous terrorists or permit the detention of innocent people. that is an unacceptable choice.
