While I'm no fan of detention without trial, the thing I find interesting in the current asymmetric war we find ourselves in, is do we wait for someone to commit an act of evil? Or do we attempt to stop that act before it occurs? If we bang them up before they do their evil then the civil libertarians will speak loudly. If we wait for the act, who tells the families of the innocents? It's a hard line we have to take these days and open to some abuses but what are the consequences of not acting.
