In Reply to: Obama to release terrorists, close Gitmo, and bring many detainees to the US for trial posted by John EH on November 10, 2008 at 11:17:28:
John, aren't you prior military? We took an oath to protect the Constitution against all enemies, foreign and domestic, remember? AQ is the foreign threat. A President who supports the erosion of domestic civil liberties is also a threat to... civil liberty and freedom.
Detention without trial is a pillar of a transparent legal system, as well as modern Western culture.
What is your reservation about this?
