<Continuing the pattern of official contempt for the presumption of innocence, Mr Fleisher referred to the uncharged, untried, unrepresented Guantánamo detainees as "terrorists" and "very dangerous people". > Like the 70 year old retired British civil engineer held in South Africa at the request of some FBI guy in the USA who made a mistake in identity. Fortunately, that guy, being obviously a 'normal' guy was found to be incorrectly held after 3 weeks in a bleak South African prison. I say sue the bastards. Governments should be liable for damages when they blunder and communities should pay compensation to those they maltreat. The essential protection is cold, bright, light of day in a rational courtroom with lawyers and presumption of innocence. There are centuries of proof that freedom requires nothing less. Saddam did the military thing. So did Stalin = a fair trial and then a fair hanging. We the Free expect a bit more than that. Mqurice
