New And?
It so happens that the vast majority of those being held...with identities withheld for various (good) reason are non-citizens...and are already being held for violations of US law. We, if most of the info is true, don't need to try them to deport them.

Would they qualify in the definition of who could be put into a tribunal. Probably.

Whats so slippery about the slope? Unless they apply it to citizens...I've got pretty firm grip on the ground.

New Again, the same bet applies
Would you be willing to bet that every single one of those locked up is really not a citizen?

And if someone screwed up on one of them, why would the jailers make the mistake of letting them free where they can contact a lawyer and sue about it? Isn't it safer to just let them rot indefinitely?

Cheers,
Ben
