In theory that's correct, but, they could keep him there on the grounds of the suspicion that he obtained his information through unconventional methods. They're allowed to keep him for a set period of time without incriminating evidence, after that he HAS to be let go. Of course they could then monitor his activities to try and obtain any incriminating evidence.
Hey there's an idea, why don't they let him go and just keeps track of where he goes. Sooner or later if the ship really exists [img]tongue.gif[/img] he would go there and destroy it or something if he's genuinely afraid of it falling the wrong hands. If he escapes into the future well then you have evidence he really was from the future and THAT would really screw up our time line...I wonn't go into the reprucussions of him going further back in time
