Fair Justice for All
Except for those the Government arrests on terrorism charges. Now that makes a lot of sense. Now there are two types of criminals, the one's that arise from your society, and those that you believe rise from an opposing faith. The latter is a mockery of the concept of a prisoner of war. Detention without trial was part of what was wrong with the Communist regimes of the USSR.
How the US Government trusts itself not to make errors by arresting the innocent, and all the more worrying, not bringing to light with the searing torch of justice, the possible crimes of these people. How it thinks it should flout its own laws and conventions as it has redefined the enemy, not as a state that affords protection to its own, but as a conspiracy of non-humans without rights?
