John,
Exactly what is the point of this article? Are you really saying that it is perfectly acceptable to keep a man incarcerated for five years, subject him to “enhanced interrogation” (or whatever euphemism for torture that you prefer), without any legal recourse, and without an ability to face his accusers or see the evidence against him? Because the point of the 60 Minute story is – That should not happen in America. Apparently you think it is perfectly acceptable. The story was not about whether there was evidence of him having an association with terrorists. The story is about whether we want our country to be able to hold and torture anyone without having to produce evidence for their incarceration, but simply on a secret suspicion. I’d like to hear clearly from the critics of the 60 minutes piece if they think this is what America should be.
