>>>I've got a query for you: Under what Constitutional authority would you justify the arrest and detention of ANY criminal suspect's entire family, where none of them are suspects and there are absolutely no facts to suggest it? Do you subscribe to some silly medieval theory of guilt by consanguinity?<<< That's precisely what the US has been doing in Iraq in its bid to capture those depicted in the deck of cards. Whole familieis have been rounded up, much like you described.
