The most important uttering of "Prove It!" was when our Constitution told the government that, unlike the kings of yore, if they wanted to imprison someone, they had to PROVE IT!
I'm not saying he's innocent -- But it is against everything our country was founded upon to hold someone indefinately without a trial. He's a terrorist you say? PROVE IT! It's obvious, you say? Fine. PROVE IT! [/QUOTE]Hiya TL - yup - good points - if it is so obvious he is a terrorist then it really should be so simple to try him and convict him. If he is guilty I want to see this done so that the "free him" brigade (which is just as blind more often than not) can STFU. I have to doubt though that they have much on him if they are so reluctant to give and open and fair hearing. Without a trial ever happening, I can see them releasing him some day (still without trial) after 15 - 25 - 30 - 40 years, when they consider he has served an appropriate sentence.
I think that perhaps they have decided to be their own judge, jury, and executioner (of sentence)and if they have that is a travesty of how an enightened civilised western nation approaches the concept of justice.
