Funny how there's threads bashing the government going out of control by destroying th constitutional rights.
Then when those rights are protected, it's the death of the united states.
C'mon man!
The amount of cause needed for the military to detain someone is LAUGHABLE! National security is recognized as the #1 rationale for justifying government action, provide national security is actually at stake. The Court isn't just acting randomly here, it already gives ridiculous deference to the government and military action.
We're going to foreign countries to fix the situations we don't like (at least thats our pretext), but you say we shouldn't extend the values we think are valuable to others because they might not?
If the government needs to torture or beat down some dude to save lives, I wouldn't really shrug...but I would want to think the government is torturing or beating up a dude that they actually think has info.
