‘This is America; you do not get to hold people for five years without’ charges.

Of course you do. If they're enemy combatants.

Just because a stuffed shirt reporter is an idiot you don't have to follow suit.

SMITH: He has been held in a military prison for more than five years — not Chris Wallace — this next person. And he wasn’t ever charged. Think about that. I mean just think about it fundamentally. You are held for five years in prison, and you’re never charged! Oh well it was an al-Qaeda suspect, suspected al-Qaeda operative. Who cares who it is?! You don’t get to — this is America; you do not get to hold people for five years without — actually, you do. But he’s getting its day in court now.

Hear! Hear!

What's distubing is that this is even an issue under contention.
