Long-Term Plan Sought For Terror Suspects
By Dana Priest, January 2, 2005, The Washington Post

Administration officials are preparing long-range plans for indefinitely imprisoning suspected terrorists whom they do not want to set free or turn over to courts in the United States or other countries, according to intelligence, defense and diplomatic officials.

The Pentagon and the CIA have asked the White House to decide on a more permanent approach for potentially lifetime detentions, including for hundreds of people now in military and CIA custody whom the government does not have enough evidence to charge in courts.

Holy, as we say in the vernacular, shit!

“Hundreds of people… for whom the government does not have enough evidence to charge in courts” are going to potentially be held in lifetime detention?

How can this nation possibly hold its head up in the international community and even contemplate such a thing? The moral criminals responsible for this policy, starting with the President, should be held accountable. Sadly, it won’t happen. Not only that, but one of the undoubted architects of the policy, Alberto “Rasputin” Gonzales, our new Attorney General-to-be, will surely soon be a Supreme Court Justice. Isn’t that special?
