If you have evidence that someone is a terrorist, put them on trial. If not, let them go. What's so hard to get??

The White House is considering endorsing a law that would allow the indefinite detention of some alleged terrorists without trial as part of efforts to break a logjam with Congress over President Barack Obama’s plans to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) said Monday.

Seriously--if you know they're terrorists, why can't you get them convicted? If you can't get them convicted, then it means that you don't have actual evidence. Therefore, they should be assumed innocent until you can prove them guilty.

This is what logic and OUR MORALS dictate.

I think every politician is beginning to think they are a kind of "Royalty Lite." Sure, we may not have hereditary rule, but politicians being able to decide who spends the rest of their lives in jail, I'm thinking that's a pretty kingly power.

We're not supposed to be about that sort of thing in this country.
