cereusSo,
Obama, in the middle of a speech castigating the Bush presidency for their attitudes towards the Guantanamo detainees introduced the idea of "Prolonged Detention". So now people can be detained for years "even though they might not be convicted of any crimes" just to protect us from the crimes they may commit.

WTF???
I'm reminded of the movie "Minority Report" en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minority_Report_(film)

Liberty is a basic human right! Our constitution contains guarantees against inprisonment without conviction.
This is unacceptable.
