"Reuters" --

01/03/05: THE Bush Administration is planning for possible lifetime detention of suspected terrorists, including hundreds whom the government does not have enough evidence to charge in courts.

Citing intelligence, defence and diplomatic officials, the Washington Post reported that the Pentagon and the CIA had asked the White House to decide on a more permanent approach for those it would not set free or turn over to courts at home or abroad.
The Defence Department, which holds 500 prisoners at its base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, plans to ask the US Congress for $32.1 million to build a 200-bed jail to hold detainees who are unlikely to go through a military tribunal for lack of evidence, defence officials told the newspaper.

And this time he's not running for re-election. I'm scared, although I know he still wants to cover stuff up so they can steal the election for his brother without a massive uprising. Hell, millions of Americans probably support this kind of stuff anyway.

One thing you can do with people you don't have evidence against is set them free. That's what "the rule of law" requires, actually.
