Bush, don't make me regret voting for you!
According to
Reuters, the Bush administration is considering holding suspected terrorists, without trial, for the rest of their lives.
The Bush administration is preparing plans for possible lifetime detention of suspected terrorists, including hundreds whom the government does not have enough evidence to charge in courts, The Washington Post reported Sunday.
Citing intelligence, defense and diplomatic officials, the newspaper said the Pentagon and the CIA had asked the White House to decide on a more permanent approach for those it would not set free or turn over to courts at home or abroad.
I'm thinking it's about time for the Supreme Court to step in here. I don't want the government to have the power to hold people indefinitely without sufficient evidence to charge in court. I refer you to Article I Section 9 of the Constitution.
One can hope, however, that the article is in error, or, as newspapers tend to be, extremely skewed.
