Simon Phipps's personal commentary

Tuesday, August 20

What is going on here? How many people are being held indefinitely without charge or trial by the US government? Isn't that unconstitutional? There's a whole bunch down in Cuba, then there's Jose Padilla [via This Modern World], James Ujaama, Yaser Esam Hamdi [via Rebecca Blood] and ... who else? Now that there's not a press release on arrest it's harder and harder to know. No wonder the US will need more space for the prisoners at home and abroad. America has done it before. I just hope dissenting views aren't enough to make one an 'enemy combatant'. Yet, anyway.
