Welcome to the Gulag

Another move by BushCo that is just so wrong it's not even funny....

The Pentagon and the CIA have asked the White House to decide on a more permanent approach for those it was unwilling to set free or turn over to U.S. or foreign courts, the Washington Post said in a report that cited intelligence, defense and diplomatic officials.

Some detentions could potentially last a lifetime, the newspaper said.

OK, so there's no real evidence the people in question have done something bad, or even that they were planning on doing something bad. There's nothing that could be used in court to actually put them on trial for any actions they might have taken. But still, we should lock them up in a camp for the rest of their lives because somebody at the CIA thinks they MIGHT be a danger?

So, so wrong.

If we can't PROVE in a court of law, or even at a tribunal of some sort, they're a threat, we should not be holding them at all.
