Just remember, if the current administration had not been so interested in bypassing significant portions of the Constitution, this wouldn’t have come up. When Mr. Thompson mentions all of the “rights” of the “detainees” he forgets to mention that the only reason that these exist was because it was clear that originally the detainees had NO rights, not even against torture, or extrordinary rendition, secret search and seizure of citizens, no right to see any charges or evidence of any kind, etc.
The administration deserves what it got with this, and the pain is that it will have to be cut back by other decisions in later administrations.
