They don't need to be "guilty" of anything to be detained for as long as there are still. The primary reason for their detention is to keep them off the battlefield. It isn't, nor should it be, anything more or less than that. It is not, nor should it be construed as, a reflection of our legal system.

For my part, justice is being served, which proves our nation and it's judicial system, is far superior to our enemies, and their belief system(s). In my view, everyone from the arresting agents, to the jurors had a job to do, and did it conscientiously. We don't have to agree with the decisions any of the parties in this saga made, but we do have to accept it. However, I will lose my composure, should this wannabejihadi be sent to France.

The ACLU and AI have sold their souls for ideology, they are not what they used to be and I doubt they ever will be again. Neither will ever have my support again.

Fortunately they are not the only games in town.
