Yeah, I understand the administration's rationale for indefinite detention of alleged enemy combatants. I'm saying its a bad policy. It is more harmful to the USA than helpful It's not just the "administration's rationale". It is a basic principle of the law of war. Fine, but what war are you talking about? The Afghanistan and Iraq wars are both over in my view - we won, the Taliban and then Saddam lost. Plenty of the Gitmo detainees have been released, so were they part of a different war than the ones that are still held captive? Which ongoing war justifies the indefinite detention without charge of the current detainees? The war in Sri Lanka?
